I'm not sure what type of claim you think you might have, but the statute of limitations for most civil matters in Virginia is two years or longer. This includes personal injury cases. If the event you want to sue for happened in November of 2006, you'd probably have until at least then to get your case filed. However, there's no reason to wait if you have a claim - see a Virginia attorney as soon as possible.
