Businesses and public entities in California face an increasingly wide range of risks associated with simply existing. Whether the risk is associated with employment issues or general liability, the accompanying exposure can be devastating to your business. Fortunately, the Civil Defense and Subrogation Department at Floyd Skeren Manukian Langevin adds yet another layer of protection and piece of mind.

Although FSML does its best to provide practical advice, education and preventative strategies in the areas of general liability and employment practices, claims inevitably arise. The Civil Defense department handles all aspects of claims made, whether they are pre-litigation demands or actual pending litigation. We handle each of our client’s files from their infancy through resolution via dismissal, settlement or verdict, and we do so with uncompromised dedication and attention to detail.

In defending any claim, it is crucial to know the facts and even more crucial to ensure the facts can be established on the record and at trial, if need be.

Whether you have been sued for wrongful termination or for damages related to an auto accident or premise liability claim, we can defend you. Whether your matter involves simple facts and minor damages or complex issues coupled with catastrophic losses, the Firm’s civil defense attorneys understand what it takes to prepare, posture and defend non-liability cases and/or informally resolve problematic liability cases. It is what we do.

FSML’s history of success is undeniable. It has successfully defended private businesses and public entities in wage and hour matters, claims brought pursuant to California’s FEHA and claims made under California’s P.A.G.A. The firm routinely defends general liability claims, those stemming from traffic collision and premise liability issues, as well as intentional torts and claims of dangerous conditions under California’s Government Code.

Defense is what we do and we do it well.
