When someone is injured, when pollution occurs, when fire, flooding or electric shock emanates from a property, landowners are often sued. GMSR has broad experience in handling such issues on appeal. It has successfully represented clients in the California Supreme Court and intermediate appellate courts in cases that have shaped the contours of the law, for example, on landowner liability for others’ criminal conduct and for hiring independent contractors to work on the land, pollution liability, surface water drainage liability, and unwanted electrical current.
