Expert Lawyers in Civil Liability
Civil liability allows individuals or companies affected by a harmful act to claim compensation for damages. This may arise either from a breach of contract (contractual liability) or in cases where no prior agreement exists (extra-contractual liability). Having the support of a lawyer specialized in tort law is essential to file claims or defend your position in order to protect your assets.
When should you hire a civil liability lawyer?
When your company faces claims for damages arising from contractual breaches or from any act that causes harm to third parties. Likewise, when you are entitled to seek compensation under similar circumstances. Legal counsel ensures a solid defense and increases the likelihood of obtaining fair compensation.
Extra-contractual liability in the corporate sphere
Extra-contractual liability can affect companies across all industries and sectors. A sound legal strategy allows businesses to handle claims efficiently and build a proper defense to minimize financial impact.
Insurance in contractual and extra-contractual matters: protection for your business and assets
Securing appropriate insurance coverage from specialized companies is an essential preventive measure for businesses. It provides protection against damage claims, ensuring financial stability and reducing exposure to economic risks.
What does extra-contractual liability mean in business?
Extra-contractual liability arises when a company causes damage to a third party with whom it has no contractual relationship, such as traffic accidents, incidents during construction projects, or the marketing of defective products. In such cases, legal advice is key to protecting the company’s reputation and assets.
What do contractual and extra-contractual insurance policies cover for companies?
They provide financial support so that, in the event of being found liable for damages caused by contractual breaches or harmful acts toward unrelated third parties, an insurance company assumes all or part of the indemnity payment.
What happens if a company does not respond to a civil liability claim?
Ignoring a civil liability claim —whether contractual or extra-contractual— can lead to costly legal proceedings, asset seizures, or financial penalties. A lawyer specialized in tort law can intervene to negotiate favorable settlements and defend against excessive claims.
