Virginia injunction & TRO bonds.
Quote on review.
A Virginia court won’t let your temporary injunction take effect until you post bond. The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful. The court sets the amount — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does a Virginia injunction & TRO bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
Built for the hearing date.
A court that awards a temporary injunction sets the bond at the same time, and the injunction does not take effect until the bond is given before the clerk. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the order awarding the injunction, the parties, and the amount the court set. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is set by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to give before the clerk so the injunction takes effect.
How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
Why the court demands security
An injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so Virginia requires the movant to put up bond before it takes effect.
The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s costs and damages get paid if it is found the injunction was incorrectly granted. The court sets the amount it considers proper for that risk and prescribes the conditions.
Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large bond can require collateral and financials. The court may waive bond for a fiduciary or where it considers bond improper or unnecessary, and no bond is required of the Commonwealth — we flag which applies before you apply.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
Execute & file. Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to give before the clerk so the injunction takes effect.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
