Some of the most common causes of injuries attorneys handling private property injury litigation run into include the following:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The seasoned private property injury litigation lawyers at the Virginia Beach Lee law firm have the experience required to handle a claim for damages regardless of where the accident might have occurred. They handle claims occurring on all types of property, including:<\/p>\n No matter how or where the accident that caused your injuries occurred, the property owner liability attorneys at Lee law firm are ready to help.<\/p>\n Identifying the Responsible Party in a Premises Liability Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n Experienced premise liability lawyers are capable of analyzing the facts and circumstances about an accident on someone else\u2019s property to determine the identity of the responsible party. It could be someone or a business entity in addition to the property owner who could be held liable for causing your injuries and paying compensation. For example, a building might be owned by a corporation, but it could be occupied by a retail store owned and operated by another corporation. Depending upon how the injuries occurred, both parties could be held liable.<\/p>\n It is not uncommon for owners and managers of commercial property have maintenance work and repairs performed by contractors who are not licensed. If you are injured on another person\u2019s property because of work performed in this manner, our attorneys are well-versed in non-licensed contractor injury litigation.<\/p>\n Whether your claim is against a property owner, the owner of a business or a property management company, our attorneys identify all parties who could be held liable and pursue compensation claims on your behalf. Our attorneys have amassed a proven record of success in non-licensed contractor injury litigation and private property injury litigation in Hampton Roads, Newport News and throughout Virginia.<\/p>\n The extent to which property owner liability attorneys can hold someone responsible for an accident depends on the legal duty owed to you. Property owners owe a legal duty to people on their property, but the duty owed is not the same for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Virginia law divides individuals on someone else\u2019s property into three classifications – invitees, licensees, and trespassers.<\/p>\n Invitees<\/strong><\/p>\n As an invitee, you are owed the highest duty of care by a property owner because you are on the property at the invitation of the property owner to engage in business benefiting the owner. A property owner has a duty to inspect premises for hazards and dangerous conditions that could harm an invitee and take steps to repair them.\u00a0<\/p>\n For example, if you slip and fall on a substance that spilled onto the floor at the supermarket, the premise liability litigators representing you must prove the owners knew of the spill and failed to take steps to remove it. Owners cannot be liable unless they had knowledge or should have had knowledge had they exercised reasonable care.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you are injured while attending a party at a friend\u2019s home, you are a licensee because you are not there to conduct business. The duty owed to you by the owner is less than that owed to an invitee. Licensees must be protected against dangers or hazards of which the owner had knowledge. The owner is obligated to repair the condition or warn the licensee of its presence.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Trespassers<\/strong><\/p>\n Trespassers on property without permission of the owner usually do not have recourse against the owner for injuries that occur. However, there could be a duty owed to a child trespassing on property because of something created by the property owner that attracted the child. A common example of this would be a swimming pool. Determining the duty owed to trespassers requires a careful review of the facts of each situation.<\/p>\n If you have been injured in an accident while on the property owned by another person or business entity, the property owner liability attorneys at The Law Offices of John W. Lee, P.C.<\/strong>, have years of experience obtaining compensation victims need and deserve.
