In addition to providing strategic guidance on available litigation options, such as early settlement, alternative dispute resolution, and trial, we offer counseling and risk management advice to avoid bad faith setups and consent judgments.

Defending Allegations of Improper Claim Handling

Insurance bad faith claims can occur when an insured is dissatisfied with the way a claim was handled. We defend insurance companies in cases alleging wrongfully denied claims, delayed payment of undisputed claims, disputed value of claims, reservation of rights, and cases involving policy rescission or cancellation.

Resolving Insurance Coverage Disputes

An insurance coverage dispute can evolve into a bad faith claim. We help insurance companies reduce the risk of litigation by working to resolve coverage disputes quickly and cost-effectively.

We handle a wide range of first and third-party insurance law and litigation matters, including those related to:

  • Coverage opinions
  • Declaratory relief actions
  • Insurance risk management
  • Insurance defense litigation
  • First-party bad faith litigation
  • Third-party bad faith litigation
  • Assignment of rights against the carrier
  • Examinations under oath

Our bad faith defense experience has brought national insurers to depend upon us to represent their interests.
