Insurance Law
Insurance coverage matters pose a real threat to any insurer. The decision of whether to defend a questionably covered claim, versus a legitimate denial, is a slippery slope. Bad claim decisions can lead to expensive bad faith litigation. We are regularly relied upon by insurers to provide coverage opinions and sound advice to guide them through the potential pitfalls, traps and complexities of making proper claims decisions. We provide a full range of services related to the insurance industry and those insured. The services include breaking down complex insurance coverage questions to an understandable framework in a coverage opinion, prosecuting or defending Declaratory Judgment actions on behalf of the insurer, defense of bad faith and fraud claims and defense litigation.
We are also retained by insureds whose coverage is being challenged or denied by an insurer, to contest the claims decisions, and also to monitor litigation as directly retained counsel in order to make sure the insured’s best interests are being protected by the insurer and its retained counsel.
