The decision to challenge your Virginia non-compete contract, reach a settlement, or wait for it to expire depends on your individual situation. Every case is different, and during our review, we will discuss your options. If you decide to fight your non-compete, then we will defend you in any lawsuit against your former employer, or in the alternative, proactively file a declaratory judgment action with the court asking a judge to invalidate the contract.

Most medical malpractice claims take approximately 18 months from the date the complaint is filed until the case is resolved, by settlement or trial. Investigating a case prior to suit can also take many months. Sadly, this is not a fast or quick process. To do it correctly our office must request and review medical records, hire experts, draft discovery, take depositions etc. before a resolution is possible.

In Virginia, the general rule requires malpractice claims to be filed within 2 years of the date of the medical negligence. This time period can be shorter or longer depending on the facts surrounding the claim. Promptly consult with an attorney knowledgeable with medical negligence law as the expiration of the statute of limitations would forever bar a claim.
