That is actually filing lawsuit whether it’s General District Court, which you can do by filling out warrant in debt, or by writing complaint, or filing complaint with Virginia Circuit Court. Most other states, about forty five jurisdictions or so in United States, have some form of what’s known as comparative negligence or modified comparative negligence, which essentially stands for the idea that if the injured party played some role in causing or contributing to the accident, that their recovery can be reduced by the amount that they are at fault. So, for instance, in most jurisdictions that apply comparative negligence, plaintiff who is partially responsible for their own injuries may only receive damages in proportion to defendant’s fault.
