New insurance coverage issues arise almost daily and on many fronts.  Claims surface from such diverse, substantive areas as environmental pollution, copyright and intellectual property protection, advertising claims, construction and manufacturing defects, and exposure to toxic substances.  At the same time, the courts struggle with more arcane issues such as trigger of coverage, number of occurrences, identity of insureds under a given policy, priority of policies, limits of coverage, and allocation of loss between co-insurers.

Peterson · Bradford · Burkwitz’s highly experienced team of coverage attorneys assists clients throughout the entire claims processes, including rendering opinions, closely following problem cases, and providing trial counsel in complex cases.  Peterson · Bradford · Burkwitz attorneys are also skilled in guiding mediation and claims settlement against the insureds, which can often lead to more cost effective, favorable results.   Finally, we represent our insurance company clients in contribution actions against other carriers that have avoided their fair share of the cost of defending or settling covered claims cases.

Insurance companies need to ensure their interests are protected.  Peterson · Bradford · Burkwitz can help.  If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us.
