Liability
Liability Defense
The Appel Law Group defends employer companies as well as personal, commercial and surplus line carriers.
Our team strives to provide our clients with cost-effective and efficient defense litigation. We handle cases of Automobile Liability, Florida No-Fault Benefits (PIP), Negligent Security, Premises Liability and Uninsured Motorist Litigation as well as insurance companies in coverage disputes and bad faith litigation.
With our experience in Workers' Compensation Defense, The Appel Law Group is well suited to represent clients in Circuit Court for the purposes of lien recovery and Coverage B claims. We aggressively seek recovery of claims dollars already paid out by our workers' compensation clients to reduce the overall expense of claims.
Negligent Security
In this growing area of law, the Appel Law Group is well positioned to represent clients where civil claims are made regarding assaults, rape, murder and other crimes. We have connections with well qualified security experts and are aware of the need to manage and minimize the publicity and attention these cases may attract in the media.
Premises Liability
Our attorneys represent stores, restaurants, hotels and other commercial facilities in defending classic “slip and fall” cases as well as other complicated premises related claims.
Declaratory Relief Actions
In cases where a client is unsure of its legal rights and obligations, The Appel Law Group can assist in the process of filing declaratory relief actions. Such actions can help clients avoid paying out claims that are not covered under their policies of insurance. These suits also decrease defense costs in cases where the claims are not covered or specifically excluded.
Pre-Suitassistance
Many clients need a legal opinion regarding a specific legal problem before litigation begins. Our attorneys are pleased to offer such opinions and assistance to help avoid litigation all together. Toward this goal, our attorneys are committed to using our experience to assist clients in the claims handling process from the initial stages of any potential claim, to attending pre-suit mediations, to preparing for the possibility of litigation and beyond.
