Many times, determining whether there is insurance coverage for a claim is nearly as important as determining liability for the claim itself. Whether you are pursuing a claim or defending your business in litigation, a critical component of the litigation is evaluating the availability and scope of insurance coverage for defense costs, indemnity, as well as settlement payments. We represent both insurers and insureds in evaluating insurance coverage issues, including the relationship between primary and excess policies, enforceability and scope of additional insured provisions, the scope of coverage in relation to the claims and alleged damages, enforceability and scope of exclusions contained in insurance policies, and fulfillment of an insurer’s good faith duty to its insureds. Our experience includes coverage issues arising from product liability and mass tort claims, environmental claims, construction defect claims, personal injuries, design defect claims, employment practice liability, professional liability, and coverage for additional insureds.
