Negligence Defense

Insurance adjusters or other third parties may be subject to claims of negligence if someone is injured due to someone else’s actions. The plaintiff in negligence claims has the burden of proving negligence. This provides defendants the opportunity to defend themselves against allegations of fault or wrongdoing. Possible negligence defenses include:

• Assumption of Risk
• Contributory Negligence
• Comparative Negligence

A skilled negligence defense attorney can help you assess your options for possible defenses.
