Residential structures, manufacturing plants, hospitals, government buildings, retail stores, and restaurants must be built and maintained to health and safety standards. When buildings are not maintained properly, and people are injured or killed due to the negligence of the property owner, the laws of Virginia governing “premises liability,” entitle you to recover just and appropriate compensation for your injuries or for your loss. If you or a loved one are injured or killed due to improperly maintained buildings or property, call Altizer Law, P.C. Bettina and her team are ready to help you recover just compensation.
