PREMISES LIABILITY

Read what our clients have to say about Rutter Mills.

Premises Liability law makes the person who is in possession of land, a place of business, or premises responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are injured on the premises. Although some premises cases, such as so-called "slip and fall" cases, can seem simple, in Virginia and North Carolina the law is complex and very much favors the premises owner. Successful recovery in premises cases is highly fact-specific and requires a thorough knowledge and understanding of the various premises laws. Most persons who have been injured on some premises do not know how to navigate the intricate details of a premises injury claim. Also, many premises injuries involve a serious injury that can have lasting future consequences. In premises cases, especially, it is important that the incident is promptly reported and a thorough investigation is done. Because of these factors, many law firms - even injury law firms - do not handle premises cases.
