Every case is different. At our law firm, we do a thorough investigation and prepare a defense based on the facts of the case. All of our cases are prepared for trial, which gives our clients a strong advantage in mediation or arbitration as well as at trial.
Premises liability: A premises liability lawsuit can stem from nearly any injury that happens to a customer visiting a retail establishment. Often the suit will have no merit, but the retailer must respond as if it did. Such accidents as a fall on a slippery floor, merchandise falling on a customer, an icy sidewalk or an assault in an allegedly poorly lighted parking lot can start litigation. Our lawyers know how to investigate and present your side of the case.
Dram shop liability: In a drunk driving accident, families and their lawyers will often look for others to blame. A restaurant or bar that served alcohol to the drunk driver may be the target of a lawsuit. Your liquor license and your entire business could be at risk. Talk to an attorney who understands the law and can provide an effective defense.
