Unpacking Common Insurance Coverage Disagreements
Insurance coverage disputes can arise in various contexts, including:
- Policy interpretation disagreements: These occur when insurers and policyholders have different understandings of policy language, terms or exclusions. Our insurance coverage disputes lawyers are skilled in analyzing policy language to determine the intended coverage.
- Claim denials and coverage limitations: Disputes often arise when an insurer denies a claim or limits coverage based on policy terms. We help insurers navigate these sensitive situations, ensuring decisions are well-supported and defensible.
- Duty to defend and indemnify issues: Questions about an insurer’s agreement to defend or indemnify an insured in a lawsuit can lead to complex disputes. Our team has extensive experience in evaluating and litigating these matters.
- Allocation of coverage among multiple policies: When multiple policies or insurers are involved, disputes can arise over which policy applies and to what extent. We assist in resolving these complex allocation issues efficiently.
- Coverage for emerging risks and novel claims: As new risks emerge, such as cyber liability or climate change-related claims, disputes can arise over whether existing policies cover these novel situations. Our attorneys stay at the forefront of these evolving issues to provide informed counsel.
Our firm has extensive experience handling disputes across different types of policies, including Commercial General Liability (CGL), Commercial Auto, Property, Errors and Omissions (E&O), Builder’s Risk and car insurance policies.
