Slip and Fall Injuries in Sterling Stores | Sterling Tort Lawyer

A quick trip to the store shouldn’t end with a trip to the ER. But every year in Sterling, people slip, fall, and get hurt because store owners don’t keep their floors safe.

If this happened to you, I want you to know that you have rights.

I’m Anthony I. Shin, a local tort lawyer serving Sterling.

I’ve handled many slip-and-fall cases, and here’s what I’ve seen: most people blame themselves. But in many cases, it’s not your fault.

A wet floor with no warning sign, a broken tile, or poor lighting can all be signs of negligence.

What Counts as a Slip and Fall Case in Sterling, VA?

Under Virginia law, businesses have a legal duty to keep their property safe for customers.

When they fail and someone gets hurt, that’s called premises liability.

Common causes of slip and fall injuries include:

  • Wet or freshly mopped floors with no warning signs
  • Cracked or uneven flooring
  • Poor lighting in stairwells or aisles
  • Spilled products not cleaned up in time
  • Ice or snow not removed from store entrances

If the store owner knew about the hazard (or should have known) and didn’t fix it, they may be held liable.

What Can You Recover?

When you file a tort claim for a slip and fall injury, you may be able to recover:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages if you couldn’t work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Long-term disability or permanent injury compensation

We’ll gather the facts, preserve the evidence, and fight to hold the business accountable.

“If a store’s carelessness caused your fall, I’ll help you stand up for your rights.”

Why Hire a Sterling Tort Lawyer?

These cases can be tricky. Stores and their insurance companies often deny responsibility or blame the customer.

That’s why you need someone who knows how Sterling courts handle injury claims and how to build a strong case from day one.

I’ve helped people just like you—working parents, seniors, and even children—recover damages for injuries they didn’t deserve.

Don’t wait.

The longer you delay, the harder it becomes to prove what happened.

Let’s talk about your injury.

I’ll explain your options, answer your questions, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
