The lawsuit arose after the plaintiff suffered a debilitating injury while in the care and supervision of the Miller School. Students were tasked with cutting bamboo in order to assist the VFW in creating an overlook to the river. Prior to the students arrival, other volunteer organizations and individuals had attempted to maintain the bamboo but as a result, created spear like bamboo canes that the students had to navigate while conducting their service project. During the service project, the plaintiff lost his footing and was impaled through his anus by a partially cut bamboo stalk. The stalk punctured his rectal wall and impaled his bladder through and through.

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation through a premises liability claim. At Breit Biniazan, our experienced personal injury attorneys in Virginia Beach are here to help you navigate the legal process and ensure you get the maximum compensation for your injuries. Whether you’re dealing with a slip and fall accident, unsafe property conditions, or an improper property management issue, we’re committed to providing aggressive representation and securing a fair settlement for you.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility a property owner has for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. Under Virginia law, property owners are required to exercise reasonable care to maintain safe premises for their visitors. When they fail to do so, they may be held accountable for any injuries sustained in a premises liability accident. If you’ve been hurt on someone else’s property due to their negligence, you may have a premises liability lawsuit on your hands.

Our Track Record of Success in Premises Liability Cases

At Breit Biniazan, we have a history of securing substantial compensation for individuals injured due to hazardous property conditions. Property owners and businesses have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for all visitors. When they fail to meet this obligation, we fight to hold them accountable for the injuries they cause.

Here are a few of our notable premises liability settlements:

  • $20 Million – Severe Burn Injury | Negligent Property Maintenance at Power Station
    A young child suffered extensive burns after coming into contact with a poorly maintained power station fence. The property owner failed to adhere to basic safety standards, allowing this preventable accident to occur. We secured $20 million to cover the child’s medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lifelong rehabilitation.
  • $10.75 Million – Injury at School Event Due to Hazardous Conditions
    A student was seriously injured during a school service project involving bamboo cutting. The area had been left with sharp, dangerous bamboo canes from prior maintenance. Our team successfully held the school accountable, winning $10.75 million to cover the student’s long-term medical care and recovery.
  • $2.195 Million – Brain Injury from Bar’s Negligence
    Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury after a violent altercation with a previously banned bar patron. The bar failed to enforce its own safety measures, resulting in a dangerous environment. We took the case to trial and won a $2.195 million verdict, holding the bar accountable for its negligence.
  • $1.5 Million – Child Drowning Due to Inadequate Pool Safety
    A family tragically lost their child in a pool that lacked essential safety features. Our investigation uncovered multiple safety violations by the facility. We fought for justice, securing a $1.5 million settlement to help the family recover from their loss and commemorate their child’s life.

Common Causes of Premises Liability Accidents in Virginia Beach

Many premises liability cases in Virginia Beach arise from a variety of unsafe property conditions, including:

  • Slip and fall accidents: Wet or uneven surfaces, loose flooring, or inadequate signage.
  • Inadequate security: Poor lighting, unmonitored parking lots, or failure to enforce safety measures.
  • Property owner negligence: Failing to repair known hazards, such as broken steps, faulty railings, or defective appliances.
  • Unsafe pools or water features: Lack of proper fencing, supervision, or safety protocols leading to drowning accidents.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Premises Liability Case?

In a premises liability lawsuit, the property owner may be held liable for injuries sustained on their property. However, other parties may also be responsible, including:

  • Property managers or landlords if they fail to address hazards or provide adequate warnings.
  • Contractors or maintenance teams responsible for property damage or improperly managed safety inspections.
  • Retailers or businesses that fail to maintain safe conditions for customers or employees.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Premises Liability Case?

In a premises liability claim, injured parties may be entitled to a variety of financial compensation. This can include:

  • Medical expenses: Coverage for current and future medical treatment, including surgeries, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
  • Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may recover compensation for missed income.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional pain caused by your injuries.
  • Punitive damages: In cases of owner’s negligence or reckless behavior, you may be entitled to punitive damages.

Steps to Take After a Premises Liability Accident

If you’ve been injured on private property or public property in Virginia Beach, here are the crucial steps to take after an injury:

  1. Seek medical treatment immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
  2. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and request a written report of the accident.

FAQs for Premises Liability Cases in Virginia Beach

What Are the Premises Liability Laws in Virginia?

In Virginia, premises liability laws hold property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property. Property owners must ensure that visitors are not exposed to hazardous conditions that could lead to injury. This includes obligations like repairing dangerous conditions, providing proper warnings, and conducting regular safety inspections. If a property owner’s negligence causes an injury, the injured party may file a premises liability lawsuit to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

How Much Can I Receive for a Premises Liability Claim?

The compensation you can receive for a premises liability claim depends on the severity of your injury and the circumstances of your case. At Breit Biniazan, we have a proven track record of securing significant settlements for our clients, including:

  • $20 Million for a child’s catastrophic burn injuries from an improperly maintained power station fence.
  • $10.75 Million for a student severely injured at a school-sponsored event due to unsafe conditions.
  • $2.195 Million for a woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury after a bar failed to enforce its safety policies.
  • $1.5 Million for the family of a child who tragically drowned in a pool with inadequate safety measures.

These examples reflect the potential value of premises liability cases, where the compensation can cover medical expenses, lost income, long-term care, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages if negligence is proven.

How Can I Prove Premises Liability?

Proving a premises liability case typically involves showing that the property owner was negligent and failed to maintain a safe environment. Key elements include:

  • Proving the Hazard: You need to demonstrate that a dangerous condition existed, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or lack of adequate lighting.
  • Owner’s Knowledge: You must show that the property owner either knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it in a timely manner.
  • Causation: You need to prove that the property owner’s failure to address the hazard directly caused your injuries.
  • Injury Evidence: Medical records, photos of the accident scene, and witness statements are crucial in establishing the severity of your injury and its direct link to the unsafe property condition.

An experienced premises liability attorney can help gather the necessary evidence, work with experts, and ensure your case is presented effectively to maximize your chances of receiving fair compensation.

What Should I Do If I’ve Been Injured on Someone Else’s Property?

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, it’s important to act quickly to protect your rights. Follow these steps:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health should always come first, even if your injuries appear minor.
  2. Report the Incident: Notify the property owner or manager about the injury and request a written report.
  3. Document the Scene: Take photos of the hazard that caused your injury and any visible injuries you sustained.
  4. Avoid Making Statements: Do not admit fault or make statements that could be used against you later.
  5. Consult an Attorney: Contact a premises liability lawyer to assess your case and guide you through the legal process.

Cobi M.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case.

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Edward D.

"My experience with the team at Breit Biniazan was nothing short of outstanding. They handled our case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
