Slip-and-fall plaintiff fighting to recover funds
A Roanoke lawyer whose client won a $3.1-million slip-and-fall verdict from a Richmond jury in May is battling on several fronts to recover funds for the injury. Gregory D. Habeeb won a default judgment against the corporate owner of the Holiday Inn Central in Richmond when the business failed to respond to the lawsuit filed by Ava Blount. Blount, a North Carolina real estate agent, suffered alleged permanent nerve damage when she broke her ankle in a 2008 fall at the hotel.

The VLW 2010 Survey of ADR Providers
Virginia Lawyers Weekly is pleased to provide the results of the VLW 2010 Alternative Dispute Resolution Survey. This project provides information about ADR providers across Virginia. For a fee, participants had the opportunity to provide basic information about their ADR businesses or practices. And for an additional fee, some providers opted to take an enhanced listing. We hope that you find this new feature valuable and that the information is useful as you determine when you need ADR services and who you call for help.
