Common General Liability Defenses 

Just as no two cases are identical, no two general liability defenses are the same. That being said, some defenses, including various affirmative defenses, to general liability claims are more commonly used than others. 

These include but are not limited to: 

• Pre-existing medical conditions 
• Assumption of risk 
• Statute of limitations 
• Comparative negligence 
• Res judicata (i.e., being sued twice for the same claim)
• Fraud
• Misrepresentation 
• Estoppel 
• Lack of coverage 

Our Tampa liability defense attorneys are highly familiar with both common and uncommon defenses to all types of liability claims, including those involving slips and falls, negligent security, construction defects, automobile accidents, product liability, employment practices, workers’ compensation immunity defenses, and more.
