The Importance Of Knowing When To File A Lawsuit

The Importance Of Knowing When To File A Lawsuit

At Berger and Green, we recently handled two premises liability cases that highlight the value of knowing when to take legal action. In the first case, a client fell on poorly maintained steps at a relative’s home, sustaining soft tissue injuries. Despite the insurance company’s denial of liability, we determined the denial was unjust and recommended filing a lawsuit.

In the second case, a client fell on a neighbor’s unsafe porch, resulting in a wrist fracture. The neighbor claimed the client was a trespasser, but we found the client’s version of events credible, backed by witness testimony, and advised filing a lawsuit.

In both cases, after filing suit, the property owners’ insurers hired lawyers who reviewed the cases and offered settlements—one for the full insurance policy limit and another for a significant amount.

These successful outcomes underscore the importance of experienced attorneys taking action when appropriate.
