A simple slip shouldn’t lead to months of pain, medical bills, or lost work—but for many in Lake Barcroft, that’s exactly what happens when a property owner fails to maintain safe conditions. If you were injured in a fall on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation under Virginia’s premises liability laws. At Malloy Law Offices, our Lake Barcroft slip and fall lawyer helps victims secure the resources they need to recover—and hold negligent parties accountable.
Even in well-kept neighborhoods like Lake Barcroft, serious falls can happen anywhere that safety is overlooked. We represent clients injured at:
Grocery stores, restaurants, or shopping centers
Apartment complexes or condos with poorly maintained common areas
Public sidewalks, parking lots, or stairwells
Private homes or short-term rentals
Office buildings or workplace hallways
School campuses or recreational facilities
It only takes one unattended spill, loose railing, or icy step to cause life-changing injuries. If the property owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard and didn’t address it, they may be liable.
Our attorneys investigate every aspect of a fall, identifying the unsafe condition and building a case to show negligence. Frequent causes include:
Wet or recently mopped floors without warning signs
Cracked pavement or broken steps
Ice or snow accumulation on walkways
Loose carpeting or uneven flooring
Poor lighting in stairwells or parking areas
Cords or clutter obstructing walkways
Defective handrails or lack of safety features
We use surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements to prove what happened and why it could—and should—have been prevented.
Falls can result in more than just bruises. Many of our clients suffer long-term harm, especially older adults or those with pre-existing conditions. We frequently help victims recover from:
Broken hips, ankles, wrists, and arms
Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from head impact
Torn ligaments or severe sprains
Facial injuries, dental damage, or scarring
Chronic pain and post-accident mobility issues
Even when injuries don’t require surgery, they can disrupt your ability to work, care for your family, or maintain your lifestyle. We make sure your claim reflects the full impact of your injury.
If your fall was caused by unsafe property conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency medical care, X-rays, or MRIs
Follow-up treatment and physical therapy
Lost wages and reduced earning ability
Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional
Long-term disability or limited mobility
Costs related to assistive devices or home modifications
Wrongful death compensation for fatal fall cases
We work with medical providers and financial experts to calculate the true cost of your injury—not just today, but for the road ahead.
