Premises Liability

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, therefore, contacting a Virginia premises liability lawyer can help interpret the law.

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.
