Excess Insurance Matters and Litigation
Excess/Umbrella insurers retain our firm to become involved in underlying litigation. Whether the involvement is as simple as “shadowing” the underlying lawsuit and reporting developments to the carrier, or involves our firm taking an active role in litigating the underlying case in order to properly protect the interests of the insured and the excess insurer, or appear at mediation and negotiate a favorable settlement, our attorneys have the depth of knowledge and understanding of the nature of the excess insurance product, the policy forms involved, and the special or peculiar issues which can confront the insurer in these high exposure, complex cases.
