Property Damage Defense Attorneys in Oklahoma
Property damage is injury to real or personal property allegedly caused by a defective product or negligence. Litigation involving property damage is a constant threat to those perceived to have “deep pockets”—a class which may include you. Your company can be sued for damage resulting from oilfield operations, allegedly defective products causing fires, release of chemicals or hazardous materials, salt water releases, or a myriad of other reasons.
Cases involving property damage can’t be handled haphazardly. If you end up on the receiving end of a property damage lawsuit in Oklahoma, you dare not trust your firm’s financial future to those who practice “generic law”. You need personalized attention to your case — and that is precisely what you will receive as a client of Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable.
We understand the details of property damage cases, and how to put together a defense strategy that can protect your company’s interests. Early scene inspection and preservation of evidence is central to our defense of such claims. Likewise, the amount of a property damage claim and the effect of potential attorney’s fees can impact the decision for an early settlement. Additional strategic considerations we take into account for cases brought in Oklahoma include:
- Property damage to an allegedly defective product is not recoverable.
- Property damage claims brought in negligence can result in attorney’s fees being awarded to the prevailing party.
- Early retention of qualified experts can have a major impact on damage analysis, as well as forcing the plaintiff to take a position on damages early in the case.
Our clients command the loyalty of a select team of experienced lawyers, each dedicated to your case — not the divided attentions of an attorney who has so many cases going on that he or she can’t return your phone calls.
When property damage is involved, you can’t afford to become just another number in your lawyer’s phonebook. You deserve exceptional care and responsiveness from your legal team, and that’s what Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable delivers.
