Every business organization has some exposure to the risk of a lawsuit, simply by virtue of conducting business. General liability claims can arise from mistakes your employees make, accidents occurring on your business premises (such as a slip or trip and fall accident), criminal activity occurring on or around your business premises, or from issues related to marketing, advertising, and cyber security.

What Is General Liability Defense?
General liability legal defense involves representing clients in occurrences that qualify for defense under a commercial general liability (CGL) insurance policy. CGL policies protect businesses from financial loss for certain types of liability for non-professional negligent acts. Under commercial general liability policies, insurers have a duty to defend the insured against covered claims and to pay damages the insured is legally obligated to pay because of a personal injury or advertising injury caused by a covered offense.
How Do General Liability Claims Arise?
General liability claims for damages can arise from a variety of business situations involving all types of personal injury, premises liability, property damage, or economic loss. Our attorneys have successfully defended against a range of liability claims. Examples of cases we handle include:
- Automobile accidents
