Liability
Businesses and other organisations may have to contend with various types of claims relating to director's & officer's liability, professional liability, employer liability, product liability or other types of liability claims in various ways. Legal liability may assume different forms, such as that of a contractual nature. A prompt understanding of the nature and scope of legal liability and the potential risks involved is essential, if excessive costs and commercial losses are to be avoided as far as possible.
The full extent of liability
Has an error really occurred? Have appropriate warnings been issued to address any risks associated with an employer’s duty of care? What is the damage and does a causal link exist? Dirkzwager addresses these and other questions in its advice and conducts litigation in relation to them within the following areas of liability law:
- Corporate liability
- Professional liability (for example, that of accountants, lawyers, tax consultants and notaries);
- Government liability
- Director’s & officer's (D&O) liability
- Road traffic liability
- Product liability
- Medical malpractice liability
- Construction liability
Compensation
Once liability has been established but the scope of the damage and/or any causal link is disputed, Dirkzwager also serves as a compensation specialist, determining the extent of the loss that has been suffered. Our experts always seek optimal solutions, thereby minimising any financial loss or reputational harm incurred or suffered by the liable party and/or their insurer.
