Premises Liability - Slip and Fall

Did you know that slip and fall accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury? Recent data from the U.S. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control shows that there were approximately 8 million fall injuries reported in 2006. Some of these accidents are due to carelessness, but occasionally there are outside factors involved in slip and fall, trip and fall or falling merchandise incidents. When measures could have been taken by the premises owner to prevent the accident, the owner can be held liable. Contact Bucci & Dix, LLC at (804) 897-3950, or toll free at (877) 276-3870, if you have been seriously injured in a slip and fall accident. Call us even if you are not sure who is at fault for the accident, as we will review your case to help you determine if you have a claim.

When someone trips over an object or slips and falls at a grocery store, shopping mall, parking lot, retail store or workplace, the owner can be liable if certain duties were not met. According to Virginia law, the premises owner owes a duty to rectify dangerous conditions they knew or should have known about, or at least provide a warning. To have a successful Virginia premises liability lawsuit, it has to be proven that the owner was aware of the dangerous condition. Our Virginia premises liability attorneys have extensive experience in premises liability litigation and have represented clients in both state and federal courts.

The injuries from slip and falls or trip and falls can range in severity. The accident may cause broken limbs, fractured hips and even serious back injuries. An injury can take a while to heal, which could cause the injured victim to experience lost wages if he or she is unable to immediately return to work. A successful premises liability lawsuit will help you recover lost wages, reimbursement for medical expenses and damages for pain, suffering and mental anguish.
