Insurance issues may arise in a variety of different contexts and situations, and the firm has represented clients in quickly and efficiently resolving those issues. Most insurance policies require an insured to provide prompt notice to the insurance carrier when a claim is made against them. Failure to report a claim in a timely manner can result in the insurance carrier disclaiming coverage and refusing to tender a defense on behalf of the insured. It is therefore extremely important to notify any potentially applicable insurance carriers of claims made, or lawsuits initiated, in order to ensure that coverage applies and that the insurance company will retain counsel to defend the claim.
The firm has assisted clients by demanding coverage, suing for declaratory judgments adjudging and declaring that an insurance company must defend and provide coverage for the client, and representing insureds in giving examinations under oath (EUOs) and otherwise complying with an insured’s duty under an applicable policy. The firm also represents clients in making claims under insurance policies for business interruption coverage, for replacement costs of damaged property, and to quiet title in boundary line disputes where clean title was insured, among other things.
