TORTS AND PERSONAL INJURY

At Afe Babalola & Co., our expertise in torts and personal injury law is both deep-rooted and extensive, reflecting a long-standing tradition of resolving complex tortious disputes. We represent clients in a wide array of tortious actions, including negligence, nuisance, trespass, and occupier’s liability. Our clientele ranges from private individuals and public figures to High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and government officials.                              

Our practice also encompasses addressing reputational damage through defamation actions, where we both prosecute and defend against libel and slander claims. A notable example of our success is the landmark libel case Alawiye v. Ogunsanya, where we successfully contested the appeal before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, having secured favorable rulings at both the High Court and Court of Appeal. This case reinforced our reputation for achieving significant legal victories. Additionally, we have defended the interests of prominent figures such as former Federal Minister Prof. Tam David-West, successfully challenging defamatory publications through three separate actions.

With our deep-rooted experience in torts and personal injury law, we provide strategic and effective representation tailored to achieve optimal outcomes for our clients. Whether handling complex injury claims or defending against allegations of defamation, Afe Babalola & Co. stands at the forefront of this practice area, committed to upholding justice and protecting our clients’ rights.
