Your Path to Damage Recovery Starts Here.
Liability law is the body of law which makes the person who is in possession of land, property, or product responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are present on the premises or interacting with said product. If reasonable steps were not taken to protect you from a foreseeable event, you might be entitled to recover damages.
Common Insurance Claim Litigation Situations.
When life, disability, and health insurance companies attempt to wrongfully deny claims and avoid paying your benefits, do not give up after the first denial. That is what the insurance company wants you to do. While going after insurance companies may seem daunting, with a lawyer from Edwards & Ragatz on your side, you can win. The most common insurance claim litigation situations are:
Product Liability:
- Faulty machinery and equipment
- Defective motor vehicles
- Dangerous household products
- Dangerous pharmaceutical products
Premise Liability:
- Inadequate maintenance, security, lighting or other shortcoming that results in injury
- Defective conditions such as broken or uneven sidewalks, obstructions or debris, spilled water, broken or missing handrails, or malfunctioning doors or windows
- Dangerously or negligently displayed merchandise or products in store aisles
How Product or Premises Damage Recovery Works.
In establishing your product liability case, we use experts versed on the specific product that caused you to be injured. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has enacted standards to protect consumers from potentially dangerous and defective products. Despite the existence of these standards, manufacturers do not always abide by them. Similarly, property owners generally have a responsibility to keep their property/facilities safe. Premises liability law is the body of law which makes the person who is in possession of land or property responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are present on the premises. This type of law applies to homeowners, small business owners, managers of the major commercial spaces and even owners/tenants renting or leasing a property. If reasonable steps were not taken to protect you from a foreseeable event such as a criminal assault, beating, mugging, rape, shooting or other criminal attacks, you might be entitled to recover damages.
