Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 46.080
Lost Access
“Lost access” means a change of vehicular or pedestrian access to property that is caused by a
public use project for which the power of eminent domain has been exercised against the property
and which results in a reduction in the value of the property. Any liability for lost access shall be
made a part of any award for damage to the residue. You must ensure that any compensation
awarded for lost access shall not be duplicated in the compensation otherwise awarded to the
owner of the property.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
