Campbell County Legal Questions
Where are the Campbell County courts?
Campbell County’s General District, Juvenile and Domestic Relations, and Circuit Courts are located in Rustburg, the county seat.
My address says Lynchburg but I live in Campbell County. Which court handles my case?
Many Timberlake and Wards Road area addresses use a Lynchburg mailing address but are in Campbell County. Court jurisdiction follows the actual county or city boundary where the event occurred, so check your summons carefully.
What should I do after a truck accident on U.S. 29?
Get medical care, photograph the scene and vehicles, collect witness information and avoid giving recorded statements to the trucking company’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer. Truck cases often involve multiple insurance policies.
Do you represent clients in Altavista and Brookneal?
Yes. We serve all of Campbell County, including Altavista, Brookneal, Concord, Evington, Rustburg and Timberlake.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Virginia?
In most Virginia personal injury cases, the deadline is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims have shorter notice requirements, so it is best to talk with a lawyer promptly.
