  • Homeowners’ insurance.Homeowners’ insurance is carried by the majority of homeowners in the states in which we work, and homeowners’ insurance claims may be filed for reasons ranging from weather-related damages to internal damage from pipes and other issues to premises liability claims and more. Be prepared with a qualified attorney on your side.
  • Automotive claims. Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death and automotive claims are one of the most common types of insurance claims filed in the country as such. Our insurance defense lawyers can represent your insurance company in the investigation, management, and settlement of these claim types.

How Our Insurance Defense Attorneys Can Serve Your Insurance Firm
We know that efficient and effective business practices involve minimizing costs wherever possible. We recognize that your business needs legal representation that understands its bottom line and fiscal goals. We will work hard to resolve all claims in a manner that is favorable to your insurance firm. Our insurance defense lawyers will provide the following services:

  • Examine the claim being made. We will always thoroughly examine any claims being made against your company in order to determine whether or not the issue at hand is one that is relevant to a policyholder’s insurance contract and coverage.
  • Investigate the case.  Once we have made a determination about whether or not a claim is relevant to a policy and therefore one with which your insurance company should proceed, we will perform a thorough investigation of the case.
  • Review policy.We’ll review a policy in full to ensure that any damage that is being claimed, as well as the cause of that damage, is relevant to the claimant’s policy.
  • Uncover cases of fraudulent claims/false claims. One of the most important services that our law firm performs is that of uncovering cases of false and fraudulent claims. These are especially common in workers’ compensation and homeowners’ liability claims; however, claims can be false, or grossly exaggerated, in a number of different claim types.
  • Negotiate claims.If an insurance company is responsible for paying out a claim based on policy language and other specifics, our lawyers will aggressively negotiate a settlement in order to ensure that the company isn’t responsible for more than it owes. Too often, poor negotiation skills result in an insurance company paying much more than it should, resulting in lost profits and setting an unfortunate precedent.
  • Provide in-court representation.Mitigating high costs is often best achieved by settling claims out of court; however, in the event that negotiations are unsuccessful, our trial lawyers will be prepared to represent you in court.
