Richmond Premises Liability Attorney

Every property owner in Richmond—whether residential, commercial, or public—has a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When that duty is ignored, and someone gets hurt, the consequences can be serious: broken bones, head trauma, long-term disability, or worse. If you’ve been injured due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, a skilled Richmond premises liability attorney at Malloy Law Offices is here to help you fight for justice and fair compensation.

Richmond premises liability

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability law allows injury victims to hold property owners and occupiers responsible when hazardous conditions cause harm. These cases typically involve:

  • Slip and fall accidents on wet floors, icy sidewalks, or uneven surfaces

  • Trip and fall injuries from broken staircases, loose flooring, or poor lighting

  • Inadequate security that leads to assault or robbery on commercial property

  • Dog bites and animal attacks on private property

  • Swimming pool accidents caused by lack of fencing or supervision

  • Structural failures, including collapsing decks, balconies, or ceilings

  • Fire safety and code violations in apartment buildings or retail locations

To win a premises liability claim, we must show the property owner knew (or should have known) about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you in time.

Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases

Hazardous property conditions can lead to a wide range of injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from falls or falling objects

  • Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs

  • Broken bones, especially wrists, ankles, and hips

  • Severe cuts, lacerations, and scarring

  • Electrical burns or smoke inhalation in fire-related incidents

  • Emotional trauma after an assault or near-drowning experience

Even “minor” injuries can result in thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost time at work, and long-term complications—especially when left untreated.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be responsible for your injuries, including:

  • Property owners (private, commercial, or municipal)

  • Landlords and building managers

  • Retail store owners or mall operators

  • Security companies (for negligent hiring or monitoring)

  • Maintenance or janitorial contractors

  • Event organizers or venue operators

Our Richmond premises liability attorneys investigate every case thoroughly to identify who failed in their duty and why it matters.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

When your injury stems from property owner negligence, we’ll fight to recover compensation for:

  • Emergency medical care and future medical needs

  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

  • Rehabilitation and mobility aids

  • Mental health support for trauma-related injuries

  • Wrongful death benefits (if your loved one died due to unsafe conditions)
