VACATION RENTAL / AIRBNB INJURIES
The U.S. Virgin Islands are an appealing vacation destination for travelers from the United States and around the world. Over the last few years, private vacation rentals offered through Airbnb, VRBO, and other services have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional hotels and resorts. While such rental properties are certainly appealing for a number of reasons, there are inherent risks. If you have been injured while staying at a Airbnb or VRBO property, it is important to seek the help of an attorney who will work hard to protect your rights and to get you the compensation you need to move forward.
PERSONAL INJURY
A serious injury can threaten your health, your finances, your livelihood, your family relationships, and your overall well-being. When an injury occurs because of someone's negligence or wrongful actions, you deserve to receive financial compensation that addresses your damages. We can assist with car accidents or slip and fall accidents that occur throughout the Virgin Islands, injuries caused by defective or dangerous products, tourist injuries that occur at hotels or on boats or ferries, and injuries in workplace accidents, including those involving longshoremen and harbor workers. If you were injured while visiting the Virgin Islands, we can work with you over the phone or through email to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve, no matter where you are located.
MASS TORT
In some personal injury cases, the actions of a company, individual, or group of people can cause significant harm to large numbers of people. The victims in these situations may be eligible for a mass tort action, which will allow multiple lawsuits to be pursued against a single defendant or group of defendants while using the same or similar arguments and evidence in each case. A mass tort allows victims to pursue lawsuits in an efficient manner, and it increases the chances of success. At Colianni & Colianni, LLC, we have pursued a variety of mass torts involving injuries from defective products, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma caused by Roundup weedkiller, ovarian cancer and mesothelioma caused by talcum-based products, addictions and overdoses resulting from the use of prescription opioid drugs, and cancer caused by taking the high blood pressure medication Valsartan. Contact our firm if you fit any one of these mass tort cases.
