GENERAL LIABILITY DEFENSE

Having successfully defended some of the largest not-for-profit agencies in New York as well as the City of New York, the firm has gained extensive knowledge in a wide array of practice areas involving general liability defense.

Our diverse client base has provided us expertise in defending claims involving premises liability, elevator accidents, school liability, assault and battery, sexual assaults, civil rights violations, subrogation, Labor Law, construction accidents, products liability, automobile liability and insurance coverage disputes. Many of these claims have been successfully defended from Small Claims court all the way up to the Appellate Divisions of the First and Second Departments as well as the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts.

We have prevailed on many cases by identifying procedural jurisdictional irregularities and successfully moved for summary judgment prior to taking any depositions resulting in a significant reduction of defense costs.

We also take pride in identifying early those cases that have the potential for an adverse verdict, and have successfully mediated those cases often below the settlement value, resulting in considerable savings for our clients. For cases that are not amenable to early, cost effective resolution, our trial attorneys have attained consistently excellent results, on both liability and damages.
