ATTORNEYS AT LAW INSURANCE LITIGATION We have an enviable reputation for our representation in insurance coverage disputes involving many types of policies: general liability, professional liability, directors' and officers', first-party property; even specialty types such as maritime and builder's risk. Our services range from rendering coverage opinions on a single policy to massive litigation extending over many years concerning complex coverage with hundreds of millions of dollars in potential exposure. Coverage litigation We represent foreign and domestic insurers in instances of product liability, environmental, automobile, property damage, construction, and other claims. Issues in this kind of litigation include whether a policy covers the damages claimed and whether the damages occurred within the policy period. Bad faith We've been successful in defending commercial and individual clients in many instances of sizable bad-faith claims----one of the most highly contested areas of insurance litigation. While most of these cases simply involve a claim filed on behalf of one insured against another, some require more complicated litigation to determine the relative rights and responsibilities of primary, co-, and excess insurers. Insurance advice In addition to litigating insurance coverage disputes, we also regularly analyze policies and render pre-litigation opinions, recommend insurance for specific activities, and assist insurers in drafting special policy provisions. We have attorneys on staff who are Certified Property and Casualty Underwriters or have experience as insurance company claims adjusters. Our attorneys will be pleased to discuss with you in detail the special capabilities of our insurance litigation division.
