Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What evidence do I need to prove a poor workmanship claim?

You need clear documentation. This includes your written contract, detailed photos and videos of the defects, independent expert reports (like from a building surveyor or engineer) that clearly link the defect to poor work, all communication with the builder (emails, texts), and any written warranties. Date everything. This evidence establishes what was agreed, how the work has failed, and that the builder’s actions caused the problem.

How does “premises liability” work for injuries on property?

Premises liability holds property owners or occupiers responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their land or buildings. The owner’s duty depends on why you were there. Highest protection is for invitees (like customers), who are owed regular inspections and repairs. For licensees (social guests), owners must warn of hidden dangers they know about. Trespassers are generally owed less duty. Common cases involve slip and falls from wet floors, poor lighting, broken stairs, or inadequate security that leads to an assault.

Can I be at fault if the accident was not entirely my fault?

Yes, in most states you can share fault. Accidents often result from the actions of multiple people. For instance, if you were speeding but another driver ran a stop sign, both actions contributed. Insurance adjusters will assign a percentage of fault to each driver (e.g., 60%/40%). Your financial recovery is then adjusted accordingly. Pure “no-fault” states are different; they require you to use your own insurance for injuries regardless of who caused the crash.

What do I need to prove to have a valid claim?

You must prove three key elements. First, the professional owed you a duty of care. Second, they breached that duty by acting in a way a competent professional would not. Third, this breach directly caused you a measurable financial loss. You need evidence of the bad advice (like emails or reports), proof of the correct standard, and clear documentation of the losses you suffered as a result.
