Liability Defense

Liability manifests in many forms.  The conscientious contractor or manufacturer, for example, cannot always foresee the causes that result in bodily injury, or death, to an employee.  Responsible directors of a corporation or homeowners association board do not intentionally make bad decisions or disregard their fiduciary duties.  A developer’s best efforts are sometimes insufficient to anticipate pre-existing site conditions that lay underground.  Life is full of the unexpected — including the potentially serious consequences of personal or professional liability that follow.  At times like these, the next decision you make may be the most important one.
