Coverage, Claims, and Litigation Defense
The insurance industry operates in a highly regulated and complex legal landscape, where coverage disputes, claims handling, and litigation can significantly impact both insurers and policyholders. Whether interpreting policy language, defending against bad faith claims, or resolving disputes through litigation or alternative dispute resolution, a strong legal strategy is essential to mitigating risk and ensuring compliance.
Danna McKitrick’s insurance attorneys provide comprehensive counsel and aggressive defense for insurers, reinsurers, self-insured businesses, third-party administrators, agents, and brokers. We help clients navigate coverage issues, claims disputes, litigation, and regulatory compliance, protecting their financial interests while promoting sound risk management strategies.
Understanding Insurance Coverage and Policyholder Rights
Coverage disputes and policy interpretations often lead to complex legal challenges between insurers and policyholders. Our attorneys analyze policies, provide written coverage opinions, and guide insurers through claims management best practices to reduce risk and prevent disputes before they arise.
We advise clients on their rights and obligations under first-party and third-party personal and commercial policies, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Our team assists with:
- Coverage analysis and policy interpretation for various insurance products
- Claims handling procedures and management strategies to prevent litigation risks
- Training and education for risk managers, claims adjusters, and insurance professionals
A proactive approach to policy clarity and claims management helps prevent unnecessary litigation and strengthens insurer-policyholder relationships.
Defending Insurance Claims and Litigation
When disputes escalate into litigation, insurers and policyholders need experienced attorneys who can navigate complex claims, defend against bad faith allegations, and resolve coverage disputes efficiently.
Our trial and appellate attorneys have represented clients in state and federal courts nationwide, defending claims involving:
- Auto and trucking accidents
- Professional liability and malpractice
- Products liability and mass tort claims
- Premises liability and property disputes
- Workers’ compensation defense
- Subrogation matters involving property and casualty claims
- Intellectual property coverage disputes
- Bad faith and extra-contractual liability claims
In addition to courtroom advocacy, we help clients resolve disputes through mediation and arbitration, providing cost-effective alternatives to traditional litigation.
Fighting Fraud and Managing Industry Risk
Insurance fraud and abuse drive up costs and increase legal exposure for insurers. Our attorneys actively participate in local and national organizations dedicated to fraud prevention, working with clients to develop strategies that protect against fraudulent claims, misrepresentation, and bad faith litigation risks.
By staying ahead of industry trends, regulatory developments, and emerging litigation risks, we help insurers and policyholders proactively manage liability and avoid costly disputes.
