- DUI / DWI / traffic tickets--A conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol could have serious consequences, including a criminal record, heavy fines, and driver’s license suspension.

In other cases, the integrity of structures such as homes, offices, and commercial retail outlets is at risk as a result of negligent design, construction, or marketing.
