Civil Litigation (Defense)

Civil Litigation Lawyers

While many attorneys promote their skills in mediating and litigating personal injury cases for plaintiffs, our attorneys represent the companies that are being sued. At Jarvis & Krieger, we have the knowledge and experience to effectively defend our clients in civil litigation against frivolous lawsuits.

Businesses that we have represented in civil litigation at Jarvis & Krieger have been sued for, among other things, product liability or slip & fall injuries. When a claim is filed against one of our clients, we defend vigorously.

Owners of properties, buildings, and businesses have an obligation to provide a safe environment without danger. However, there are times when an owner was not aware of a hazard and had no way of anticipating any problem. A person merely tripping over a curb or falling down stairs does not automatically result in an owner's liability in civil litigation for the injury. Simply put, accidents happen, and sometimes there is no one at fault. Many times, the individual who was injured was engaging in negligent or reckless behavior that caused the accident.

Product manufacturers are easy targets for product liability cases. The larger and more successful a manufacturer is, the more susceptible the business is to a lawsuit. Many claims without merit are filed every day by individuals claiming that a defective product caused severe injuries.

We begin to work diligently to establish your case from the moment you retain us as your legal representatives. We will conduct our own investigation and bring in relevant industry professionals and experts as necessary. Witnesses will be interviewed and the site or product that caused the injury will be reviewed and analyzed. While the best strategy may turn out to be settling the case, we will move forward during the process as if we will litigate it in a court of law.
