Insurance Litigation

Our Insurance Litigation attorneys are dedicated to defending businesses in complex insurance disputes, including construction defect claims, wrongful death cases, natural disaster-related claims (including hurricanes and tornadoes), and other commercial insurance issues. We strive to ensure your business obtains the rightful compensation.

  • Insurance law governs the relationships between policyholders and insurers, focusing on coverage and claim disputes. Our attorneys specialize in commercial insurance litigation, including construction defect claims, wrongful death cases, and storm-related disputes. We are adept at resolving complex insurance issues to ensure fair outcomes for your business.

  • Insurance litigation is crucial for several reasons:

    • Securing rightful compensation: Ensures businesses can seek compensation for losses, promoting accountability.

    • Protecting financial stability: Safeguards companies against financial losses from construction defects, wrongful deaths, and natural disasters.

    • Encouraging responsible practices: Promotes safer business practices through legal accountability.

    • Access to justice: Provides businesses with a fair legal avenue to resolve insurance disputes and obtain just outcomes.

    Insurance litigation helps businesses protect themselves against financial losses resulting from unforeseen events. This area of law promotes accountability and responsibility among businesses and ensures they have the means to seek redress and maintain financial stability.

  • Insurance disputes may arise in a wide variety of circumstances, and our experienced attorneys are prepared to vigorously represent our clients in these insurance matters. Our attorneys have a track record of resolving insurance claims and personal injury cases efficiently and effectively. We work diligently to secure favorable outcomes for our clients.

    Types of cases that we handle:

    • Construction Defect Claims: Our attorneys have obtained multi-million dollar judgements and settlements against insured parties and sureties on construction defect claims on behalf of owners. They also have successfully defended clients faced with the potential of excess or uninsured claim exposure and have litigated declaratory judgment actions to establish coverage for the benefit of their clients.

    • Wrongful Death: Our attorneys have litigated wrongful death claims related to aviation accidents and have worked with highly accomplished experts skilled in analyzing data as part of the successful resolution of these challenging cases. Our team has been called upon by business owners and insurance carriers to provide opinion letters about policy coverages and to litigate those issues when coverage is in dispute.

    • Natural Disasters: Our attorneys successfully handled an extensive array of insurance claims on behalf of condominium associations, business, and individuals following the devastating series of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast in 2004 and 2005, including Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis. The vast majority of these claims were resolved without the necessity of protracted litigation and trial, in large part due to the experience of our attorneys in securing and working with top-notch professionals in support of our clients, including professional engineers, architects, and construction experts.

    Having a keen understanding of the manner in which to organize and present the details of insurance claims is essential to obtain favorable results. We utilize this in combination with our skills in negotiation to help drive cases to resolution prior to trial.
