Virginia Auto Insurance & Crash Law Case Authority Library

This issue-organized authority index collects primary Virginia statutes and leading appellate decisions for motor-vehicle insurance and crash-law research.

Core Virginia Statutes

Va. Code § 38.2-2206 — uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
Va. Code § 46.2-472 — current minimum financial-responsibility limits.
Va. Code § 8.01-66.1 — motor-vehicle insurer remedies and bad-faith provisions.
Va. Code § 8.01-243 — principal personal-injury limitation periods.

Leading Virginia Decisions

GEICO Advantage Insurance Co. v. Miles (Va. 2022) — construction of Virginia UM/UIM coverage under §38.2-2206.
Manu v. GEICO Casualty Co. (Va. 2017) — §8.01-66.1 remedies and UM claim-handling timing.

Virginia remains a contributory-negligence jurisdiction, and UM/UIM analysis depends heavily on statutory language, policy wording, available liability limits and applicable elections. Check later cases and current statutes before relying on any single authority.

Publication review note — September 17, 2026. Confirm subsequent history, statutory amendments and current policy language before reliance.
