Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What are an employer’s main legal duties to prevent liability?
Employers have a clear duty to take reasonable steps to prevent and correct harassment. This includes establishing, distributing, and enforcing a clear anti-harassment policy with a safe complaint procedure. They must train employees and managers on this policy. When a complaint is made, the employer must conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation. If harassment is found, they must take immediate and appropriate corrective action to stop it and prevent recurrence.
What must a property owner do to prevent slip and fall accidents?
Property owners must take reasonable steps to inspect their premises for hazards and fix them in a timely manner. This includes regular cleaning and maintenance, promptly mopping up spills, repairing cracks or broken flooring, salting icy walkways, and ensuring adequate lighting. For temporary hazards like a wet floor, placing clear warning signs is a crucial step. The law requires proactive care, not just reacting after someone has already been injured.
What is the main legal difference between assault and battery?
Assault is the threat or attempt to physically harm someone, creating a reasonable fear of imminent harm. No physical contact is required. Battery is the actual, intentional, and harmful or offensive physical contact with another person without their consent. In simple terms, assault is the scare, battery is the actual physical act. Both are intentional acts for which you can be held legally responsible, even if the resulting injury was not specifically intended.
What do I need to prove in a liability case for these exposures?
You must demonstrate that the responsible party controlled the property or situation where the exposure occurred, that they were negligent in managing the known hazard, and that this negligence directly caused your specific illness. Medical records confirming the diagnosis (like lead poisoning or mesothelioma) and evidence linking it to the specific exposure source are essential. Documentation of the hazardous condition and requests for its repair can be powerful proof of negligence.
