• DUI/DWI
  In the state of Virginia, the legal limit for DUI/DWI is a BAC of.08, although one can still be convicted with a BAC of less than.08.

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Third party claims will compensate you for non-economic damages and punitive damages, whereas Workers Compensation will not. You must prove negligence or fault of the third party.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Under Virginia law, an incident that occurs on another person’s property is called a premises liability claim. These claims can be very complex and usually require that the owner or occupant of the property knew of the defect in the premises that caused the injury. Another important factor is the classification of the injured person at the time of the injury.
• Property Damage
  Victims of boating and watercraft accidents may be able to recover damages for personal injuries and/or property damage caused by the negligence of another party. Because these accidents are often complex legal matters with multiple parties and insurance carriers involved, it is important to hire a firm with extensive experience and understanding of Virginia’s personal injury and watercraft laws.

• Dog Bites
  While many states have laws with “strict liability” for dog bites, Virginia is not one of them. Instead, it is one of the states that still follows the “one bite” rule. What this means for dog bite victims is that in order to recover compensation for injuries and damages, they must show that the dog owner knew or should have known that the dog was dangerous or aggressive. The lawyers at Trost Law Group are well versed in this law and have decades of experience representing dog bite victims in the state of Virginia.
