Insurance Coverage & Bad Faith

 

We handle coverage issues for insurance carriers, insureds, self-insureds, and joint powers authorities. For some clients, we handle the day-to-day coverage issues involved in claims handling. For others, we become involved in complex litigation. We have extensive experience in defense of extra-contractual “bad faith” claims. Our coverage expertise extends into all types of policies, including commercial general liability, errors and omissions, homeowners, products, surplus and excess lines. We pride ourselves on our ability to extricate clients from difficult situations in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

 

Our coverage/bad faith team includes lawyers with extensive experience in handling insurance coverage and bad faith issues, including in the context of joint powers authorities. Our coverage attorneys have been lead counsel in cases resulting in numerous federal and state court published opinions dealing with bad faith, coverage, and the duty to defend.

 

We are proud of our expeditious handling of coverage problems. We know that when you have a coverage issue, you need an answer now, not in two weeks or in two months – and you need an answer, not just a recitation of policy provisions. We know that every coverage dispute has its own set of facts, so we take the time necessary to give you a straight, bottom-line answer without an unnecessary presentation of what you already know.

 

We stay on top of new developments in coverage law and have ready access to the most recent cases. Our coverage attorneys are often asked to teach continuing education courses and give seminars to claims people and the legal community.
