Personal Injury Defense

Personal injury defense occurs in many areas of law including worker’s compensation, toxic tort, municipal law (slip and fall) and almost any other area of law.  Willman & Silvaggio has successfully represented businesses, both big and small, and municipalities in successfully defending these claims.  Willman & Silvaggio is successful in all types of personal injury claims because of our aggressive strategies, while still understanding the limits of the client.

Professional Liability

Anyone or any firm that represents to the public that they are an expert in a particular field can be held responsible for their work, advice and counsel.  Historically, professional liability only extended to doctors, lawyers, CPS, architects and other professions that require an advanced degree.  However, the scope of professional liability has broadened significantly and includes such fields as technology consultants, software designers, engineers, marketing consultants, technology consultants and anyone who holds themselves out as an expert.

Willman & Silvaggio represents and defends these experts concerning their professional services and duties as well as in class actions and administrative proceedings.  We work closely with our clients to evaluate the situations, to resolve disputes and to strategically limit liability and exposure.  When businesses, reputations and careers are being jeopardized, we are there to protect our clients.
