Our attorneys are seasoned trial lawyers with the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully defend insurance companies dealing with bad faith and extra-contractual claims arising under automobile, homeowners, general liability and other insurance policies. We recognize that these allegations can be very costly and disruptive for an organization and we aim to have bad faith and extra-contractual claims dismissed as early on as possible in the litigation process.
When a policyholder alleges that an insurance company has denied a claim in bad faith, our attorneys take quick action to thoroughly investigate the allegation. We provide our clients with a detailed assessment of the risks associated with the claim and we work closely with them to effectively manage the situation and all discovery requests. Our lawyers are very familiar with the extensive and intrusive deposition and document requests that opposing counsel so often try to demand of insurance companies in these types of claims. We know that these activities can create tremendous pressure, confusion and worry throughout an organization and we take a hands-on approach to help our clients respond to and control these types of requests.
