Insurance Coverage Disputes
Insurance coverage litigation is an area of law addressing how and when insurance policies should pay claims. Insurance coverage attorneys help answer questions such as whether a loss is covered under a policy, the rights and obligations of the insurance company and policy holder and liability limits under a policy.
Insurance Coverage Attorney
Insurance coverage attorneys represent insurance companies and businesses in disputes such as a denial of insurance coverage, the duty to defend a policy holder, selective and targeted tenders and insurance liability limits. Plaintiffs counsel will often bring on an experienced coverage attorney for difficult or high limit insurance coverage questions. Although plaintiff’s counsel may be very good at handling a claim or suit, they may require further assistance on difficult insurance coverage questions that arise during a case. Insurance lawyers assist in those situations where an extensive background in insurance coverage may lead to identifying additional policies, identifying all available insurance coverage or resolving rights and obligations under a policy.
Policy holder insurance coverage attorneys work with the business, homeowner, injury claimant or any other person seeking to recover insurance. They can assist with submitting the claim, suing the insurance company and suing the person causing the injury.
