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.

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
