Judge: Summer L. Speight
Court: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Henrico County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Richmond, Virginia insurance defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
Description: Richmond, Virginia personal injury slip and fall lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a premises liability negligence theory.
This case was filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court, CL23-5112, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
Virginia is clear that owners and/or occupants of a premises may be held liable for injuries caused to other people by the conditions on that premises. However, establishing the duty a property owner or occupant owes to an injured person requires a somewhat complicated analysis.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
