Our primary goal is to protect our clients from unjust liability and to minimize financial loss, all while maintaining the highest ethical standards.
Slip-And-Fall Claim Defense
Slip-and-fall claims are one of the most common premises liability cases. Property owners can be held liable for accidents caused by a dangerous condition on their premises if they knew about or should have known about it and failed to fix it. Our lawyers are adept at identifying and challenging the basis of these claims. We scrutinize every issue to build a strong affirmative defense.
Our approach is zealous. We do not hesitate to gather all necessary evidence, interview witnesses, and consult with experts to disprove the claim. We aim to show that either the property owner took reasonable steps to prevent the accident or that the plaintiff was responsible for their own injuries. We strive to protect you from unjust liability and minimize financial loss.
In defending slip-and-fall claims, we meticulously examine the circumstances surrounding the accident. We look for evidence that the property owner had no prior knowledge of the dangerous condition or that the condition was so obvious that the injured party should have taken steps to avoid it.
Defense for Other Types of Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability encompasses other incidents aside from slip-and-falls. Our legal team at Hunt Hunt & Winterbottom LLP also provides civil defense against other claims, including:
- Negligent security
- Swimming pool accidents
- Floor or deck collapse
- Falling objects
- Inadequate maintenance
We bring a competitive spirit and a drive to win to each case. We understand the nuances of various allegations and work tirelessly to protect our clients’ interests. In cases involving negligent security, for example, our team examines whether the property owner provided adequate lighting, security personnel, and surveillance. For swimming pool accidents, we will investigate whether safety measures were in place. In instances of floor or deck collapse, we will look into maintenance records and construction standards. Each defense addresses the specific allegations and is designed to protect you, the property owner, from liability. We understand the legal needs of property owners and do not waste time or energy on excesses that run up a client’s bill.
