Slip-And-Fall Accidents
The Virginia premises liability law is clear: anyone injured in a slip or a fall due to a property owner’s negligence has the legal right to seek compensation for injuries such as back injuries, broken bones and more. However, this requires a strong case demonstrating that the property owner’s negligence directly caused the accident.

The National Trial Lawyers recognizes our attorneys among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers. This demonstrates our commitment to securing compensation that helps clients rebuild their lives.
Common Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents
Slip-and-fall accidents frequently result from preventable hazards in grocery stores, gas stations, hotels and retail shops. They result mostly from:
- Wet floors without warning signs
- Accumulated ice or snow
- Poor lighting
- Broken stairs or handrails
- Uneven surfaces or damaged tiles
When property owners fail in these duties, serious injuries can occur. As a victim of such negligence, we can help you dig deep into the legal matters to help ensure you get fair compensation for your personal injury claim.
Determining Liability In Virginia Slip-And-Fall Cases
Virginia property owners are mandated to keep their premises safe by:
- Conducting regular inspections
- Removing hazards promptly
- Maintaining adequate lighting
- Posting warning signs
- Addressing known issues without delay
You must prove that the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to prevent or address dangerous conditions. This includes showing that the owner either knew about the hazard or should have reasonably known about it yet failed to take timely action. With backgrounds as former prosecutors, our lawyers know how to gather evidence to prove negligence and secure the compensation our clients deserve.
