Insurance

Whether it's obtaining insurance coverage or defending an insurance company, clients have come to our attorneys for results:

• For several large jewelry manufacturers and distributors, we recovered the policy proceeds on contested theft loss claims.

• For directors and officers of a real estate company, our attorneys obtained insurance coverage under their Directors & Officers (D&O) policy for a suit by their former fellow officer and director.

• For an insurer defending a multi-million dollar bad-faith claim, our attorneys forced the insured into bankruptcy, then settled for a minimal amount with the trustee over the objections of an intransigent former management.

• Our work for a corporate insured resulted in the underlying real estate development litigation being covered under umbrella and excess coverages.

• Our attorneys defended a reinsurer in liquidation proceedings brought by the California Insurance Commissioner as liquidator for a failed primary insurer.

• For an insurer defending against bad faith claims arising out of a nationwide new car extended service contract program, our attorneys obtained a settlement in which the insurer paid no damages.

• Our attorneys defended a title insurer from a series of claims on forged apartment house deeds and used a settlement of $1,000 to obtain a good faith settlement order barring claims by other parties for contribution and indemnity.
