ACCRUAL OF RIGHT OF ACTION (§ 8.01-230)

In every action for which a limitation period is prescribed, the right of action
shall be deemed to accrue and the prescribed limitation period shall begin to
run from the date the injury is sustained in the case of injury to the person or
damage to property, when the breach of contract occurs in actions ex contractu
and not when the resulting damage is discovered, except where the relief sought
is solely equitable or where otherwise provided under § 8.01-233, subsection C
of § 8.01-245, §§ 8.01-249, 8.01-250 or other statute.
