What kind of injuries commonly occur at movie theaters?
When a movie is showing in a theater, there is a limited amount of light, so stairs can be difficult to navigate when taking a visit to the bathroom. In order to remedy this potential hazard, all movie theaters should have glow-in-the-dark strips that can help people navigate the steps. It is especially important that steps in movie theaters are not defective in any way. If the luminous strips are not used or the stairs are defective, a serious injury could result.
If you have been injured at a movie theater in the state of Virginia, it is important to stand up for your right to compensation.
