Personal Injury and Property Damage
We have defended them in commercial and residential property and automotive claims alleging negligence, defective conditions, defective products and materials (including fire and explosion claims), inadequate security, and failure to warn or correct. Our attorneys apply superior litigation skills to work in partnership with our clients and their insurers to resolve injury and damage lawsuits. Thanks to our extensive insurance defense, workers’ compensation and product liability practices, we have unsurpassed skill at preventing spoliation of evidence and preserving the injury or damage scene, working to ensure that our clients have access before evidence is destroyed. Our emphasis on timely accident investigation (often within the first 24 hours) and early retention of experts has absolved our clients from injury or damage liability in numerous cases. We are frequently able to exclude plaintiffs’ expert witnesses based on the strength of our own investigation and testimony, positioning our clients for favorable settlement, summary judgment or defense verdict. By avoiding spoliation pitfalls and eliminating potential defenses from the inception of the claim, our attorneys build strong cases, which in turn lead to expedited insurance recoveries. We participate in such industry organizations as the Defense Research Institute and the Property Loss Research Bureau, as well as the Tort and Insurance Sections of the American Bar Association and other professional groups. Our attorneys have written and spoken on liability topics, and our work in high profile cases like the defense of firearm manufacturers has helped us establish relationships with some of the most distinguished liability experts in the country. In today’s environment of record-breaking damage awards, any personal injury or property damage lawsuit could mean financial ruin to a defendant. Wiedner & McAuliffe attorneys take a comprehensive defense approach in such litigation, effectively working to preserve evidence, engage experts and recover costs. Whether it means a cost-effective settlement or a defense verdict at trial, we provide solutions to our clients’ defense needs. |
