How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in West Virginia? 

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in West Virginia is generally two years from the date of the accident or incident that caused the injury. This means that if you are injured due to someone else's negligence or wrongful actions in West Virginia, you have a two-year window from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim.

It is crucial to be aware of the statute of limitations and take prompt action if you wish to pursue a personal injury claim. Failing to file a lawsuit within the specified time frame could result in losing your right to seek compensation for your injuries.

However, certain circumstances might affect the statute of limitations in specific cases. For instance, if the injury was not immediately apparent and only became evident at a later date, the statute of limitations might be extended, starting from the date of discovery of the injury.
