Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What should I do immediately after a serious recreational injury?

First, seek immediate medical attention and document your injuries. Report the incident to the facility, league, or event organizer and ensure an official report is filed. Gather evidence: take photos of the hazard, get contact information from witnesses, and preserve any damaged equipment. Avoid giving detailed statements or signing anything from an insurer without understanding it. Promptly consulting a lawyer can help protect your rights and determine if negligence played a role.

What defenses do property owners typically use?

Common defenses argue the property owner wasn’t negligent because the danger was obvious or they had no reasonable way to know about it. They may also claim the injured person was trespassing or was themselves careless—for example, not watching where they were walking while distracted by a phone. In some states, if the injured person’s own fault is a major factor, it can reduce or eliminate the owner’s responsibility.

How does inadequate supervision contribute to liability?

Inadequate supervision is a major factor, especially for pools at hotels, clubs, or residential complexes. The owner has a duty to provide a safe environment, which includes competent lifeguards at public pools or clear rules for unattended pools. Failure to have proper supervision protocols, leading to a drowning or injury, can be a clear breach of that duty. This is particularly critical when children are involved, as they require a higher standard of care.

What is the most common form of illegal job discrimination?

The most common form is discrimination based on a person’s membership in a “protected class.“ This means making hiring, firing, promotion, pay, or job assignment decisions based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information. It is illegal at nearly every stage of employment. The key is that the adverse action must be because of the protected characteristic, not for a legitimate, performance-related reason.
