Insurance Defense
Solid Protection for Insurers and Insurance Companies
Insurance claims attack the guiding principle of the insurance industry—that certain protections are due for certain considerations.
Brault Graham defends clients when a plaintiff or plaintiffs corrupt this principle:
- Policy interpretation disputes
- Bad faith claims
- Excess or surplus insurance lines
- Policyholder negligence
- Unfavorable declaratory judgments
The defense attorneys understand how insurance coverage is affected by stipulations in the written policy and by statutes and case law in the jurisdictions the firm serves.
Attorneys review the policy and the claim carefully against the facts and jurisdictional framework in order to communicate a range of possible resolutions to the client—some cases may go to mediation; others may require a judge.
Once the client understands the direction of the defense strategy, the attorney prepares an airtight argument that relates to the specifics of the coverage and claim.
The goal is that clients can resolve insurance issues—even complicated, multi-party claims with a tangled history—quickly and with as little expense as possible.
