Insurance Defense
Our experience in the defense of liability claims includes the representation of insureds through a wide variety of insurance companies and self-insureds, and focuses on claims brought against:
- Commercial professionals, public sector professionals, healthcare providers, and general contractors and subcontractors in various types of construction related claims.
- Manufacturers, retailers and distributors in a variety of products liability claims
- Individuals and businesses in general liability matters, including but not limited to motor vehicle injury claims, premises liability claims, environmental tort claims, arson claims, fidelity claims, commercial claims and contract claims
Our attorneys have years of experience and an excellent track record of defending products liability claims involving injuries as a result of a product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. Our attorneys have handled claims involving all types of airline industry products, machinery and tools, medical products and devices, motor vehicles, pharmaceutical products, and recreational products.
Medical device and pharmaceutical defense requires that we stay on top of the rapid technological advancements and frequent changes in the law associated with drug and medical devices. These cases are often complex to litigate. Whether predicated upon allegations of defective design or manufacturing, these cases require attorneys who possess strong intellectual, organizational and technological skills.
We also litigate managed health care disputes, claims involving policy sales malpractice, claims relating to investment activities of insurance companies and claims arising under disability and life insurance, as well as annuity policies.
Our insurance coverage litigation experience is very broad. We have been involved in disputes concerning most major lines of insurance on behalf of defendants in matters including:
- Environmental contamination
- Directors and Officers
- Employment
- Property
- Construction Defects.
Frequently, these are complex, multi-party actions brought in state or federal courts. Our extensive experience in managing large cases has proven valuable and in this regard, we have been very successful.
As the insurance industry has grown and insurance issues have become more complex, our firm has responded by developing a professional staff that is able to meet today's challenges.
Our lawyers work directly with claims representatives and adjusters, company risk managers, and national counsel towards resolving insurance coverage issues.
