Premises Liability Lawyer in Virginia Beach
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Injuries
Virginia law holds a property owner accountable for maintaining their property and ensuring it is safe for guests. For example, an owner must make sure their property is free of hazards that could potentially cause another person’s injury. If someone injures themselves as the result of an owner not maintaining their property, they could have grounds to file a premises liability lawsuit.
If you have been injured on another person’s property, call our Virginia Beach premises liability attorney today at (757) 267-4949 for a case evaluation.
Types of Visitor
Visitors are categorized into 3 different classes. The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller can help you determine which class your claim falls under:
- Trespasser
A trespasser is a person who unlawfully enters the property of another. This could be entering a structure or walking onto a piece of land. A property owner does not generally have an obligation to keep their premises safe for trespassers.
- Licensee
A licensee is a person who enters a property with the knowledge and consent of the owner. This could be a social guest, traveler, and/or hunter. An owner only has the responsibility to warn these people of hazards through a posted notice.
- Invitee
An invitee is a person who visits a property by invitation from the owner. This could be a guest, a home service technician, or a visitor (if the property is open to the public). The owner or occupant of the property has a duty to ensure that invitees to the premises are always in reasonably safe conditions.
Representing Your Best Interests
If you were a licensee or invitee to a property and sustained injury due to negligence, we can help you seek compensation. Our Virginia Beach premises liability attorney has over 25 years of legal experience to put to work on your case.

Mr. James Weaver and his team are true professionals. From the start, he was honest and straightforward. He always stayed positive with me and kept me calm when I thought everything was going horrible. Mr. Weaver got me the best outcome possible in my situation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.- S. Bohrer

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client
