Negligence Attorneys in The Woodlands

Before we talk about negligence, we need to talk about the Hopkins Centrich litigation philosophy:

When you have a serious legal issue that seems destined for a lawsuit, there is one thing you need to hear from your attorneys: “We will tell you the truth even if it’s unpleasant.”

That’s hard for a lot of lawyers to do because the last thing a client wants to hear is, “You don’t have a case,” “It’s time to pull the plug and walk away,” or “It’s not worth the expense just to prove you’re right.”

You need to know because you need to do whatever is best for your business. And to do that you need straight facts.

Hopkins Centrich PLLC gives you the facts . . . along with cutting edge, high quality, creative legal solutions to businesses in The Woodlands and beyond.

Business Law and Negligence

It’s an unfortunate fact of business life that sometimes the owners, shareholders, employees, and others in a closely held company do not act in the best interest of that company. Sometimes this is due to negligence.

Here are some examples of how negligence can manifest itself in a closely held company:

• Accounting negligence - An auditor fails to detect material misstatements in a company's financial statements resulting in reliance losses for investors or creditors.
• Legal malpractice - A business attorney fails to file and serve a complaint before the statute of limitations expires, costing the client its legal claim.
• Broker negligence - A stockbroker fails to execute a trade as specifically directed by a client, resulting in missed profit opportunities.
• Construction negligence - A contractor uses substandard building materials and methods resulting in a structure that is unsafe and requires remediation.
• Product liability - A manufacturer fails to inspect and test product designs, resulting in a defective and dangerous product that causes injury.
• Property inspection negligence - An inspector carelessly overlooks a severe termite infestation or major structural issues before a property purchase.
• Data breach negligence - A company fails to apply critical security patches and updates, allowing a data breach that compromises sensitive customer information.
• Delivery service negligence - A carrier mishandles and damages cargo due to unsafe loading practices and improper packaging handling.
• Fire damage negligence - An electrical contractor fails to follow safety procedures resulting in a fire that causes property damage.
• Valuation negligence - An appraiser applies methods and assumptions well below industry standards, resulting in an inaccurate business valuation.
