General Liability Claims

Helms & Greene has extensive experience in handling all types of general liability cases from inception, through trial and post-verdict appeals. These claims include premises liability cases in which landlords, managing agents and business owners are sued. We defend personal injury cases involving fires, explosions, steam systems, radiators and hot water burns, as well as negligent security cases, claims involving falls and claims involving structural defects and property damage.

We defend alleged false arrest and imprisonment claims, both against security companies and/or owners of commercial establishments, other security guard or service cases, and public entities, including their employees and officers.

We have successfully litigated numerous other specialty cases, such as trucking and auto cases; dram shop claims; foster care agency cases; suits against investigators; sporting injury cases; gymnasium cases; and cases involving injuries at camps and places of amusement.

We also have extensive experience defending claims for general liability against nursing homes and hospitals. We utilize the knowledge of vast experience in the inner-workings of hospitals and nursing homes to defend claims which contain both general and professional allegations.

While many of our clients are insured, we also represent self-insured entities. We serve as monitoring counsel in cases to assist in preventing and defending against adverse verdicts both at the primary and excess levels.
