Premises Liability Attorney in Fairfax, Virginia
Retail stores are required by law to provide a reasonably safe shopping environment for their customers. Owners and occupiers of property must exercise reasonable care to keep their premises reasonably safe from dangerous conditions. If negligence or unsafe conditions cause an injury, then the owner or occupiers of the property where the injury occurs may be held legally responsible for the injury. The injured person can seek compensation for financial losses, and their pain and suffering through a premises liability lawsuit.
Premises liability lawsuits can be filed for claims involving injuries due to slippery surfaces, dangerous conditions, inadequate security, as well as injuries due to faulty stairways, balconies, ramps, parking lots and sidewalks. But these are not the only types of conditions that may lead to a premises liability lawsuit, however.
Experienced Premises Liability Lawyer in Fairfax, Virginia
The Law Offices of P. Clark Kattenburg, P.C. — located in Fairfax, Virginia — is led by attorney P. Clark Kattenburg, who has decades of successful experience in representing plaintiffs in many types of premises liability lawsuits against some of the largest retailers in the country:
- Significant confidential settlement was reached against a “big box” store for falling merchandise: A young man in his 20s was seriously injured after a malfunctioning carpet carousel knocked several boxes of bolts onto the young man's head. One of his legs was seriously hurt, and he suffered mild head injuries. Attorney Kattenburg used engineering experts to prove that the carpet carousel had been improperly loaded due to lack of proper training for the staff. The young man got a significant confidential settlement.
- Significant confidential settlement against another “big box” store: Another man was injured when several doors fell on him. He sustained a mild brain injury and short-term memory loss. Again, attorney Clark Kattenburg used engineering experts to show that the stall in which the doors were stored had been defectively designed. The injured man got a confidential settlement, and this “big box” store has changed the way it displays its sample doors to customers.
