Insurance Law

Courts are constantly revising their interpretations of insurance policy provisions. Our Insurance Law Group represents clients in numerous insurance markets, including homeowners’ insurance, primary and excess liability insurance, reinsurance, energy, marine and life insurance. Our clients rely on our experience and expertise to keep them up to date on these developments and protect their interests through tough-minded litigation when necessary. Our lawyers litigate issues such as ambiguity in policy language, intent of the parties to contracts, coverage trigger dates, identifying an occurrence, agent liability, claims-handling practices, and the reciprocal duties of the insured, from policy procurement, timely reporting of claims, and assistance in investigation and defense. We handle bad faith claims, from improper claim handling procedures, to failure to settle within policy limits, to violation of unfair claims practices statutes or consumer protection act. We also specialize in advising our clients on first- and third- party claims involving automobile, property, general casualty, workers’ compensation, LHWCA and professional liability coverage.
