Chad Hemmat Asked to Speak at Premises Liability Litigation Event

Feb. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Long time trial attorney, Chad Hemmat, is honored to be a speaker at the Premises Liability Litigation Event put on by the Colorado Bar Association on March 21, 2013.  As co-founding principal partner of Anderson Hemmat McQuinn L.L.C., Mr. Hemmat directs all civil litigation operations at the firm.  Mr. Hemmat has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured people in Colorado.

The conference is geared toward providing the most up-to-date information on slip & fall and premises liability cases. The Colorado Bar Association (http://www.cobar.org/cle/item.cfm?EventID=LI032113L) states that those speaking at the event are the “State’s top plaintiff and defense practitioners in the field.” Topics discussed will include the attractive nuisance doctrine, contractors, the dog bite statute, implied vs. express consent and many others.

Mr. Hemmat will be speaking from a plaintiff’s perspective on litigating and briefing premises liability cases.  Under Colorado’s Premises Liability Act, a plaintiff can only recover for injuries sustained on another person’s premises under certain conditions defined under Colorado law.  Mr. Hemmat will give the plaintiff’s perspective on the most effective techniques in litigating these cases based on recent changes in the law.

Landowners have differing duties of care depending on whether the injured party was a trespasser, licensee or invitee. Colorado Premises Liability Statute § 13-21-115 differentiates between these three parties, and allots for the damages that they can recover. For example, a trespasser may only recover damages for injuries that were willfully or deliberately inflicted by the landowner.

Attorney Chad Hemmat has dedicated 100 percent of his practice to litigation because he believes that a client without strong and aggressive representation will not likely have a fair chance to get the compensation they deserve in the event of an accident. Mr. Hemmat is admitted to the Colorado Bar, the U.S. Court of Appeals 10th Circuit and the U.S. District Court District of Colorado.
