Premises and Habitational Liability

Zarwin Baum’s Premises and Habitational Liability Practice Group uses sound judgment, meticulous investigation, thorough preparation, and aggressive tactics to represent our clients.

Our attorneys have a long and extraordinary history defending these types of lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey courts.

Clients include shopping centers, major retail chain stores, private and commercial building owners, small retail stores, apartment houses, motels and hotels, condominiums and corresponding associations, restaurant and tavern owners, contractors and builders, and homeowners. Our group handles lawsuits involving allegations of negligent security, wrongful arrest and detention, weather-related claims, property defects or collapses, slip/trip and falls, and other accidents involving injury or death claimed to have occurred on a client’s property.

An impressive list of insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and self-insureds rely on us for legal representation. A network of investigators, record examiners, and expert witnesses helps our experienced legal personnel protect our clients from the potential for fraud inherent in these types of claims. The members of this practice group are skillful at examining leases and insurance policies in an attempt to place or share responsibility for claims with other parties.

Our attorneys keep clients well informed about the status of their case for claims administrators to manage the litigation effectively. We employ an immediate and efficient case evaluation and budgeting process that considers the potential damages and the cost of litigation. Throughout litigation, systematic updates are provided while prompt and cost-effective resolutions, including alternative dispute resolution methods, are considered.

At the heart of our group’s commitment is an aggressive, no-holds-barred litigation style designed to place clients in the best negotiation position to achieve a favorable resolution.
