Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims in West Virginia
After a car wreck, time is not on your side. West Virginia law limits how long you have to file a claim.
Key Deadlines:
Personal injury: 2 years from the date of the accident
Property damage: 2 years
Wrongful death: 2 years from the date of death
Missing these deadlines could prevent you from recovering compensation—no matter how valid your case may be. Acting quickly ensures that evidence is preserved, paperwork is filed properly, and your rights are protected.
