Craig Douglas Eckstein v. Sonoco Products Company

Roanoke, Virginia premises liability slip and fall personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendant on a negligence theory claiming to have suffered more than $75,000 in injuries and/or damages as a direct result of an accident caused by Defendant's employees.



The claims made and defenses asserted are not available for this case.



This case was initially filed in the Franklin County Circuit Court, CL20003568-00, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.



This was a diversity of citizenship case over which the federal district court had jurisdiction because there is complete diversity of citizenship between the parties and at least $75,000 in damages being claimed and either the plaintiff or the defendant did not wish to litigate the case in the state courts of this state.
