Insurance Coverage
Very often these days, the ultimate resolution of a business dispute or litigation between two parties rests in the hands of a third party. Business owners and operators, looking to protect their interests or comply with regulatory requirements, will have insurance policies in place that are designed to pay out in the event of an unfavorable legal outcome or other liability-triggering event. When that payout doesn’t happen as expected, either because an insurance company denies a claim, payments aren’t forthcoming, or a carrier wrongfully refuses to defend a lawsuit, our experienced attorneys are here to help.
