Tort Risks And Liabilities

Background:  With some understanding of the legal system, the GC owners can now shift focus to examining specific areas of law that create potential risks and liabilities for their business.   The group knows from their business experience, that businesses face serious and costly risks and legal liabilities stemming from tort law. 

 

Unintentional harm resulting from accidents, such as in the unintentional torts of negligence and product liability, can result in costly litigation.  For example, Madison’s remodeling business was sued by a client injured when one of the roofing employees accidentally dropped a ladder on that client’s leg. 

 

The GC owners are concerned about the possibility of accidents occurring in Green Clean public offices that could create risks of premises liability under negligence. 

 

Instructions:  Winnie and Ralph have given you the responsibility of analyzing and summarizing potential negligence and premises liability risks that GC might face in its business operations.  Specifically, you are tasked with creating a presentation report of your findings for GC owners at their next meeting with TLG.
