As an insurance company, are you looking for representation in a new geographic area or new insurance line for your business?
Disputes that could potentially involve an insurance policy or claim are many and include such common areas as: auto insurance, wrongful death, health insurance, home insurance, life insurance and others.
While the insurance industry is large, insurers, and the businesses and individuals they insure, are entitled to defense from not paying for claims they are not responsible for, or from disproportionate or, in some circumstances, fraudulent claims or actions.
Additionally, insurers can be subject to actions of bad faith denial of coverage, where it is alleged that the insurer failed to uphold its express or implied duty to pay a claim to its insured.
Defense and representation against claims can often involve consultants with deep industry knowledge and practice expertise, as well as deposition and testimony from many witnesses.
While many lawsuits involving insurance companies and their insureds are negotiated and settled, many end up going to trial, so attorneys with skill and experience in insurance law, litigation practices and trial work are essential.
