Are the cases above insurance cases? Typically, yes. As I like to say, almost every case is an insurance case. By this I mean, insurance companies play a critical role almost every case where one party sues another for money-damages. This makes insurance law critical to nearly every personal injury, medical malpractice, property damage, and business-related liability case. In all such cases, the person sued (the defendant) looks to his or her insurance company to hire a lawyer, pay the lawyer, and pay all or at least a portion of any damages awarded to the claimant (the plaintiff). Insurance companies’ role in litigation is based on the “right and duty to defend” contained in nearly every liability insurance policy or policy part, including auto, homeowners, and commercial general liability policies.
Over the years, on the other side, I handled a wide range insurance disputes, as well as personal injury, sexual assault, property damage, and defamation cases. I now see “every case as an insurance case,” because the goal in each case is to defeat and get money from the insurance company on the other side. Contact me to see if I can help you maximize the value of your civil case by focusing on the real opponent: the defendant’s insurance company.
