Virginia Premises Liability Lawyer
In Virginia, successfully winning a lawsuit against a premises owner due to injuries acquired while on their property is difficult since most do not guarantee safety. This is further complicated by the fact that under Virginia law, you are responsible for your own safety and due to this fact; our law firm seeks to explore all possible scenarios to ensure that once you place a complaint you will get compensated. Some of the cases we handle range from falls caused by slippery floors mismanaged floors, which have holes and accidents on sidewalks since in Virginia, the law stipulates the property owner to ensure is responsible for its upkeep. Most of these cases occur in restaurants, shopping malls, schools, hotel lodges, stadiums, conferencing centers, and hospitals.
We urge you to report any accidents immediately since most premises owners have the tendency of reconstructing the accident area. This means as the aggrieved party you have to recollect all your thoughts on the events preceding the accident. We advise you to write it down while it is still clear in your mind and if the condition is conducive and you have the necessary equipment, it is advisable for you to take pictures of the place.
The firm also has a team that carries out investigations prior to the case. We will also ensure that we get qualified personnel to survey and examine the area. If for instance you broke your leg due to a slippery floor, as your representatives, we have to prove that the owner was aware of the conditions and yet did not take the necessary measures to rectify the situation. Virginia Law has provisions that, the premise owner is solely responsible for ensuring that his premise and the surrounding area are safe.
For the law firm to establish how to handle the case, we have to know under what capacity you were while the accident occurred. This is broken down into three, invitee, trespasser, and licensee. As the name suggests, when you are an invitee, it means that the owner of the premise had invited you for a business meeting, a trespasser implies you were on the property illegally and a licensee means you were there for social reasons but at the request of the premise owner. As such, it will be up to you to help us understand where you fall before we progress on pressing any charges and to ensure we have a valid case.
