Insurance Litigation Attorneys
We evaluate and litigate coverage disputes involving commercial insurance, homeowners insurance, malpractice insurance, D&O liability and auto insurance (commercial and personal), as well as claims involving personal injury coverage, advertising injury coverage and self-insurance coverage.
Delivering Sophisticated Service In A High-Tech, Paperless Office
We operate at a level that is usually found only in larger law firms. Our attorneys have a talent for finding strategic leverage in cases — frequently giving our clients strong positions even when at first it appeared otherwise.
We use a unique and effective courtroom presentation system that is proprietary. And we’re very adept in cases involving computer forensics and analysis of digital data.
Defending Self-Insurance Claims For Companies
Self-insurance is a unique beast. If you are part of a self-insured company, you know what that means. Our team of lawyers has a unique approach to advising our clients on whether and how to set up their self-insurance and how to handle claims as they come in.
Self-insurance is a form of risk management that operates as a bet. The bet is that the monetary value of your claims is less than the premiums you pay. It is not right for all companies, but it is a great strategy for some.
Not all self-insurance is created equally. One form of risk might be appropriate for self-insurance in one industry (or for one company within an industry), but wholly inappropriate for another.
If you are in a position where a claim is being made against your company, you need a law firm that knows how to handle these types of cases, and you need a law firm that won’t feed your case into its gigantic billing machine.
The make-or-break moment on your risk management strategy often comes when the self-insured company is faced with a claim or a dispute over a claim. You can’t just hand over the file to an insurance defense law firm and let it handle the case on its dime.
