Coverage Opinions
RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTES BEFORE THEY GET OUT OF HAND
No matter how complex or simple they are, bad faith claims are serious allegations that threaten your market position. They can have a significant impact on your bottom line, damage your reputation, and hurt your relationship with your policyholders and insureds. They can even lead to courts and judges second-guessing your claims handling policies and all your internal claims notes.
The Best Coverage Opinions Are Authored from In-The-Trenches Trial Attorneys
Our deep bench of trial and civil litigation attorneys rely on a combined 100-plus years of experience to defend your claim practices and policy language. In addition to our relentless pursuit of defending our clients’ interest in complex and catastrophic injury civil litigation, members of our team have worked in insurance agencies and served as in-house counsel. We understand what it’s like to be blindsided because of poor coverage opinions and we’re committed to providing you with greater protection and peace of mind.

We Take a Proactive and Thorough Approach to Crafting Airtight Coverage Opinions
We’ll gather all the relevant information, examine every detail of your case, and communicate with you every step of the way.

You can trust that you’re getting an opinion that will stop bad faith claims in their tracks.
Precise Case Evaluations
No two bad faith claims are the same. Too often “coverage” law firms and lawyers take a cookie-cutter approach to coverage opinions. Not us.
