Insurance Coverage
Determining whether insurance coverage extends to an incident, or the extent of coverage for an incident, are common sources of disputes in the insurance world.
We have experience providing opinions – to insurers and insureds – on the extent and application of coverage and representing parties in litigation, mediation, and dispute resolution processes over issues of coverage.
Conflict Counsel
An area of law unique to insurance is the dual-client nature of the relationship counsel has with an insurer and the insured. We have experience on advising when possible conflicts in this relationship arise, as well as acting as conflict counsel when issues arise.
Broker’s Negligence Claims
Insurance is often obtained through a broker. On occasion, the broker will provide inadequate recommendations, or fail to renew a policy, which leaves property or businesses uninsured. If that occurs, a claim may be able to be brought against the broker for the difference in the coverage provided, compared to what was requested. Our team has experience litigating these claims and assisting individuals in being made whole after fires, floods, and other disasters.
Negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
In many contexts an insurance issue will require arbitration or alternative dispute resolution before, or instead of litigation. Our team is experienced in representing and advocating for clients’ interests in these processes and can assist outside of the court, as well.
