Practice
Insurance coverage disputes for businesses
We represent policyholders, never insurers, when a company's claim is denied, delayed or paid short, or when an insurer won't defend it in a lawsuit.
Refusal to defend
A customer, a neighbor or a former employee sued you, and the liability insurer says the policy doesn't apply.
Property and business interruption
Fire, water and storm losses, and the income lost while the doors were closed.
Reservation-of-rights letters
The insurer agrees to defend, but reserves the right to refuse to pay. What that means for your case.
Bad faith
An insurer that didn't investigate, delayed without reason, or refused a fair settlement inside the limits.
Policy wording
Exclusions, endorsements and definitions, read the way the law reads them: in the policyholder's favor where they're unclear.
Coverage in a wider lawsuit
Making sure the insurer pays its share while we, or your defense lawyer, handle the underlying case.
Questions we hear about insurance coverage disputes
Are you a public adjuster?
No. We're lawyers. We can sue an insurer, and we can work alongside an adjuster you've already hired.
The insurer sent a denial letter. Is it final?
Rarely. A denial is the insurer's position, not a ruling. Many policies set short deadlines to dispute it, so call soon.
Can you take my case for a share of the recovery?
For some first-party claims, yes. You'd still owe case costs such as filing fees, depositions and experts, and the written agreement sets them out before we start.
