Defense against liability claims

When you as an entrepreneur are held liable for damage another party claims to have suffered, a thorough legal analysis is necessary. Not every claim is well-founded and even with well-founded claims, the extent of the damage is often open to debate.

As a liability law lawyer, we analyse your position, assess the strength of the claim and advise you on the best defense strategy.

Defense grounds in liability law

No attributable fault or defect
Absence of causal link
Own fault of the injured party
Liability limitation via contract clauses
Set-off or moderation of damage
Limitation period of the claim

Prevention: better safe than sorry

The best strategy is to prevent being held liable in the first place. You do this by:

Clear contracts with liability limitations
Legally correct general terms and conditions
Appropriate business liability insurance
Clear internal processes and quality assurance
