Other areas of civil liability

At Gómez Barroso Abogados, our specialisation in civil liability and claims against insurers covers a wide variety of cases, in addition to the most common ones such as traffic accidents, workplace accidents, falls or incapacity.

This is a very broad area of law, so below we highlight some of the most frequent situations we handle:

Civil liability in construction

Construction defects, hidden faults or damage arising from building works can give rise to liability for the various parties involved, such as developers, builders, architects or technical professionals.

These situations can lead to significant financial and material harm, so it is essential to analyse the origin of the damage and claim the corresponding compensation.

Civil liability in high-risk activities or adventure sports

Accidents occurring during high-risk or sports activities may give rise to a claim where there is a lack of safety measures, negligent organisation or a failure to follow protocols.

In these cases, the organiser may be held liable for the harm suffered by participants.

Civil liability for damage caused by animals

The owner or keeper of an animal is liable for any harm it may cause, whether to people or property.

This includes cases such as dog attacks, accidents caused by animals running loose, or any situation involving harm arising from their behaviour.

Civil liability for defective products

Harm caused by defective products may give rise to claims against manufacturers, distributors or sellers.

When a product does not offer the safety that would reasonably be expected and causes harm, the affected party is entitled to claim the corresponding compensation.

Civil liability of premises open to the public

Business premises are required to keep their facilities in a properly safe condition.

A lack of maintenance, signage or preventive measures can lead to accidents and give rise to liability for harm caused to customers or users.

Claims against insurers

Insurance companies sometimes reject claims or offer compensation lower than what is actually owed.

In these cases, it is possible to pursue a claim to obtain payment of the full compensation, whether through negotiation or, if necessary, through legal proceedings.
