Over the past 70 years, HB&B has handled thousands of general liability cases, representing a wide range of clients including retail chains; financial institutions; restaurants; sports arenas; shopping centers; parking lots and garages; construction companies; and small business owners.
HB&B has had continued success defending premises liability cases which involve everything from property damage claims to serious personal injuries and wrongful death. Our attorneys have the ability to handle essentially every type of dangerous or defective condition of property as well as intentional criminal acts of third parties including robbery, rape and murder. HB&B has also initiated programs with some of our larger institutional clients to coordinate more effective risk management policies and procedures in order to reduce the number of lawsuits filed and to increase the probability of success on cases that are filed.
For example, HB&B's representation of a leading, global oil and gas company illustrates how the firm has combined substantive legal expertise with technology tools to cost-effectively manage the company's personal injury litigation arising from its operation of more than 1,700 retail outlets in the western United States. HB&B developed a secure on-line database that manages all of the documentation related to personal injury litigation that can be accessed from anywhere at anytime creating a real-time, paperless environment for the company's in-house counsel and executives. The system can constantly calculate the value of all outstanding claims providing an extraordinary tool for cost control and budget projections.
