Filing Recreational Liability Claims

San Francisco Personal Injury Attorneys

With a reputation for providing high-quality legal representation to injured victims, Walker, Hamilton & Kearns, LLP has also made a name for itself by tackling challenging legal matters, such as recreational liability cases.  Our attorneys have been handling recreational liability matters since 1982, when Walter Walker undertook representation of the families of victims of the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort avalanche that resulted in the deaths of seven people and resulted in a trial that lasted four and a half months.

The nature of these cases has changed somewhat over the past years due to the widespread use and acceptance of release forms and the evolving concept of assumption of risk. However, our firm actively seeks out such cases and continues to take them whenever we feel it is right to do so. Relying on our more than 100 years of combined experience, our firm can approach these cases with the tenacity and attention to detail they merit.
