INSURANCE COVERAGE
Should an insurer be responsible for covering a particular claim? Does an insured have the right to benefits under certain circumstances? The answers to these questions are often the subject of intense disagreement between parties, and the reason why many come to our insurance lawyers for help.
We counsel insurance coverage law clients on matters related to director and officer, general liability, commercial property, commercial crime, pension and welfare benefit plans, employment practices, and other forms of insurance law. Further, an insurance lawyer from Hunter Lynch Law has extensive experience advising on cases that fall under existing insurance plans, as well as handling matters that occurred prior to the inception of coverage or following the expiration or cancellation of coverage.
Specifically, we have handled insurance coverage matters involving property damage, bodily injury, products liability, professional liability, theft, pension plans, errors and omissions, additional insured status, tail/run-off coverage, construction defects, construction bonds, insurance coverage in bankruptcy matters, and numerous other issues.
When required, we work efficiently with our corporate, real estate, employment, intellectual property, and bankruptcy attorneys to address our clients’ needs.
