Virginia Marijuana Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
VA cannabis lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Virginia, and 2) the severity of marijuana-related injuries.
Virginia State Cannabis Claims
When all parties reside in Virginia, cannabis lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (VA Courts Website). Title 8.01 of the Code of Virginia sets forth the State’s Civil Remedies and Procedure law for mental health claims attributed to dispensary marijuana.
The State of Virginia follows a pure contributory negligence rule. Accordingly, a Virginia cannabis lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by growers and dispensaries provided the plaintiff does not share fault.
4th Circuit Cannabis Claims in Virginia
Virginia is part of the Fourth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual cannabis lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Marijuana dispensary appeals are heard by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the psychological harm is severe, cannabis claims can be filed in this court against growers and dispensaries nationwide.
However, federal marijuana lawsuits filed in Virginia may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a mental health Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 4th Circuit cannabis compensation.)
