Slip and Fall
What you should know about premises liability law in North Carolina and Virginia
Most businesses and homeowners carry liability insurance to protect themselves in the event that someone is injured while on their properties. This would include slip and fall cases which are generally known as premises liability cases. North Carolina and Virginia, like most states, require an injured party to prove that the property owner or property manager—
- Was aware of a hazardous condition
- Failed to take reasonable steps to remedy the hazardous condition
- And his or her failure to do so resulted in your personal injury
Slip and fall, and other premises liability accidents happen everywhere. Whether you suffered your personal injury at a grocery store, movie theater, restaurant, department store, or big box store, you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible and make sure your medical and financial concerns are taken care of properly.
We put the responsibility where it belongs—and we keep it there
A property owner’s insurance company often argues that its client did nothing wrong. Instead, it blames the injury victim for ignoring warning signs, causing objects to fall, or failing to take proper precautions to avoid an accident. Our premises liability lawyers are intimately familiar with the tactics and strategies insurance companies use to obscure the issues and avoid blame. We—
- Work with investigators
- Take photos of the accident scene
- Interview witnesses and employees
- Review safety inspection records
- Consult with architectural and engineering experts
The truth is in the facts. We uncover the facts, argue the facts, and win on the basis of facts. Relentless and thorough, we are prepared for anything the other side throws at us to avoid blame.
