SECTION 8.01-221.1. Unestablished business damages; lost profits  

Damages for lost profits of a new or unestablished business may be recoverable upon proper proof.

Such damages for a new or unestablished business shall not be recoverable in wrongful death or personal injury actions other than actions for defamation.
