A Hampton, Virginia, jury awards record verdict of $12,264,302.00 against Miller Mart for mild traumatic brain injury from fall. This verdict is believed to be the largest slip and fall verdict in Virginia history.
Stephen Smith of The Brain Injury Law Center in Hampton, Virginia, along with Edward Scher of Richmond, Virginia, represented a woman in her lawsuit in the Circuit Court for the City of Hampton, Virginia.
