Respected Premises Liability Defense Lawyers
The premises liability defense attorneys of O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle and Oleson have more than 50 years of experience representing clients accused of causing injury to others by improperly maintaining their property.
Taking Charge, Getting Results
We have successfully resolved cases for businesses, landlords, homeowners, schools, municipalities, hospitals, nursing homes and other property owners and their insurance companies.
Our premises liability defense lawyers regularly obtain positive results in cases involving allegation of accidents occurring on property, including:
- Slips and falls in stores, sidewalks, parking lots
- Inadequate security
- Lack of proper lighting
In premises liability cases, the plaintiff must prove that a defect existed on the defendant's property and that the defendant had adequate notice of the dangerous condition, yet did nothing to repair the defect.
Successful Defense Strategies
Our attorneys often persuade the court to dismiss premises liability cases because of the plaintiff's inability to establish defect and notice. We also have been successful in arguing that the plaintiff knew of the dangerous condition and voluntarily put himself or herself in harm's way.
We thoroughly investigate each case and work diligently to expose questionable evidence or fraudulent claims.
Throughout the process, we give clients our legal advice about whether it is in their best interest to settle or proceed to trial. When a case does go to court, clients can rely on us for a skillful and aggressive defense.
