What does liability mean?

Liability is a legal term for fault. Fault, in a context of a personal injury accident, can arise from a car accident, or a slip and fall, or any other type of injury-causing accident. For example, if one is driving a motor vehicle and rear-ends another vehicle, the vehicle that rear-ended the other vehicle would be considered to be at fault or negligent. Similarly, a store owner who fails to properly maintain the store’s premises, and someone slips and falls as a result, then the store can be potentially be considered liable or negligent for causing the accident victim’s injuries.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
