Premises Liability, Niche Torts & Insurance Disputes
Holding Negligent Property Owners, Corporations, and Insurers Accountable
When you leave your home, you have a reasonable expectation that the properties you visit, the activities you engage in, and the insurance policies you pay for will keep you safe and protected. Unfortunately, corporate greed, negligence, and malicious intent frequently put innocent people in harm’s way. At Fahrenholtz Law, LLC, James Fahrenholtz is dedicated to holding negligent property owners, reckless individuals, and bad-faith insurance companies accountable for the damages they cause to everyday members of our community.
Property owners—whether they manage a grocery store, an apartment complex, or a private residence—have a strict legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to address known hazards, we step in to pursue premises liability claims. This area of law covers a wide range of incidents, from slip and falls on icy sidewalks to injuries caused by negligent security. We place a particular focus on representing the victims of severe dog bites. Dog attacks frequently result in permanent scarring, nerve damage, and severe psychological trauma, especially when the victims are children. We thoroughly investigate these cases to hold negligent dog owners financially responsible for the physical and emotional scars they allow to happen.
Given our local geography and lifestyle, we also represent individuals who suffer severe skiing injuries. While skiing carries inherent risks, you should never have to pay the price for someone else’s reckless behavior on the slopes. Whether your injury was caused by an out-of-control skier violating the Skier Responsibility Code, a ski resort failing to mark hidden dangers, or a catastrophic equipment failure, we have the niche legal knowledge required to navigate these highly specific liability claims.
Beyond negligence, we aggressively pursue justice for clients who have suffered harm due to intentional torts. If you have been the victim of civil assault, battery, or intentional infliction of emotional distress, the criminal justice system is not your only avenue for recourse. We file civil lawsuits directly against the perpetrators to secure financial compensation for your medical bills, pain, and suffering.
Finally, one of the most frustrating experiences a victim can face is being abandoned by their own insurance company. You pay your premiums faithfully, but when tragedy strikes, the insurer uses “delay, deny, and defend” tactics to avoid paying your valid claim. James Fahrenholtz has zero tolerance for corporate bullying. If your insurance provider fails to investigate your claim properly, unreasonably denies coverage, or refuses to pay what you are owed, we will aggressively litigate against them for insurance bad faith. We force insurance companies to honor their contracts, ensuring you receive every single dollar of the protection you rightfully paid for.
