Premises Liability in Virginia Beach, VA

Who is responsible for my injuries?

Under Virginia law, all property owners are responsible for ensuring the safety of their guests or visitors. They are required to maintain a safe and risk-free environment for people who enter onto the property. This means that they are liable for the people who are on or around the premises. This law is meant to encourage people to keep their property safe. If an owner is negligent, someone could be injured when visiting or using their facilities. Slip and falls, assault and even rape may occur if an owner doesn't take the proper precaution.

When is the property owner at fault?

If a property manager or owner is fully aware of dangerous or hazardous areas yet fails to do anything about it, they may be liable for your injuries. When owners neglect their responsibility to fix gates, fences or walkways, the people around them may suffer. Hotels, supermarkets, homeowners, colleges, local businesses and building owners can all be held responsible for premises liability. If you have suffered an attack or injury due to the negligent actions of an organization or property owner, they are responsible for your damages.
