Coverage, Compliance and Bad Faith
The Group has successfully advised and represented numerous insurers on complex coverage, compliance, and bad faith issues involving personal and business auto policies and commercial general liability policies. Our attorneys have analyzed and litigated coverage and compliance issues regarding the scope of the duty to defend, coverage pursuant to “additional insured” endorsements, the construction of the term “occurrence” within standard commercial policies, “business risk” exclusions, and contribution actions between insurance companies pursuant to competing “other insurance” provisions. Our attorneys have successfully instituted and defended declaratory judgment actions regarding coverage, as well as successfully defending first-party and third-party bad faith claims against several insurers.
