Civil Liability
Chernay|Peterson has a wide-ranging civil liability practice. The firm handles cases involving nearly every type of civil liability including personal injury, negligence, construction defect, premises, commercial, professional liability, asbestos, mold damage, employment and products liability. We defend tort actions ranging from business disputes to catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims.
We provide aggressive representation statewide and across the West. Chernay|Peterson works with both insurance companies and self-insureds to get the best result in the most efficient manner.
The firm takes pride in managing litigation from the client’s point of view. Our clients don’t have to sit and wonder what’s happening in a case. We gather information and evidence quickly so an accurate evaluation of liability can be made at the earliest juncture. We keep our clients up to date on developments. We don’t wait for things to happen – we seek out the information needed to make strategic decisions.
But we do more than manage litigation; we try the cases. We don’t blink when the other side wants to go to trial. We’re familiar faces in trial courts throughout the state. We have the experience and expertise to take anyone to trial anywhere, anytime.
More than anything else, we remember it’s all about service. Lawyers are just noise unless they serve their clients. Chernay|Peterson knows clients deserve prompt attention and quality representation. We pride ourselves on solving problems and getting positive results. There are lawyers who believe practicing law is not about client service – but none of them work here.
