Virginia Personal Injury

Torts are civil wrongs that are grounds for a lawsuit. The claim of the injured party is usually on this harm. Civil suits do not involve jail time. They are for injunctions to stop the continuation of the tortious conduct or for money damages.

There are many different kinds of torts including trespass, assault, battery, negligence, products liability, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Torts fall into three categories: intentional torts, negligent torts and strict liability torts. Intentional torts are those wrongs which the defendant knew or should have known would occur through their actions or inactions. Negligent torts occur when the defendant's actions were unreasonably unsafe. Strict liability torts are not based on actions but the activity itself.

Torts that cause personal injury due to the negligent behavior of a third party are actionable under Virginia law. Charles Anderson of Grenadier, Anderson, Starace & Duffett P.C. understands the necessity of providing knowledgeable representation during your most difficult time of need.
