Monetary Damages Can Be Significant
Victims often suffer many monetary losses after a fall. The damages are usually much more than medical expenses. Lost wages and future earnings are at stake. Rehabilitation appointments can last for many months after the accident.
Some of the most common injuries where you may be entitled to compensation include:
- Back injuries
- Broken bones
- Fractures and sprains
- Internal injuries
- Concussions and other traumatic injuries
These are just some of the injuries associated with premises liability cases.
Establishing Negligence
In our experience, the laws of Virginia make it difficult for an injured victim to obtain fair compensation in a slip and fall case. To be successful, it has to be proven the responsible party was aware of the hazardous element that caused the accident. Proving negligence can be challenging. In Virginia, if a victim is proven to be 1% negligent, the entire case could be denied. This is one of the main reasons why having professional legal representation is so important. You may think I was 1% at fault and decide not to contact a lawyer. Do not make that assumption. If you have fallen and are hurt you should contact an attorney so they can review the case. Although the law of contributory negligence make these cases difficult there can be factors that overcome your potential 1 % of negligence.

- Grocery stores
- Restaurants & Bars
- Swimming Pools
- Gas Stations
- Retail Stores
- Parking Lots
- Hotels
- Airports
- Residential Homes
