Premises Liability

Touchstone  attorneys have substantial expertise defending the realm of premises liability claims. We handle and try cases ranging from typical “slip/trip  and fall” claim, to more serious matters involving assault and injury in which allegations of inadequate security are made.  Our experience includes retail establishment security, parking lot, apartment, wet floor, latent defect, and attractive nuisance claims, as well as property claims involving damage to land by virtue of design/drainage difficulties.  The firm’s lawyers have tried numerous cases on these issues, and can provide reasoned and sound advice to litigants facing such suits. These suits are generally defensible, but it is essential to involve counsel  as soon as possible in order to direct the investigation and protect privileged information.   Experts sometimes play a significant role in these cases and our attorneys and staff have a working relationship with many qualified and respected experts in this field.
