Our attorneys’ diverse backgrounds and experience also deepen our understanding of the complex substantive issues that often underlie and drive insurance coverage disputes.
The insurance coverage attorneys at our firm are committed to seeking sound business solutions to coverage cases through early assessment and proactive efforts, including direct negotiation with claimants and alternative dispute resolution. Each insurance coverage attorney is skilled in litigating declaratory judgment, breach of insurance contract, and bad faith actions brought by insureds and putative insureds in both the first-party and third-party contexts. When appropriate, we will file dispositive motions, and in the continued absence of a pre-trial resolution, we vigorously litigate our clients’ cases in court. We also handle coverage disputes involving other primary insurers, re-insurers and excess carriers.
