Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation

Through our work designing insurance programs and litigating general liability and workplace injury claims, we have gained a level of knowledge in insurance matters that is rivaled by few law firms.  The firm's attorneys bring this experience to bear in their representation policyholders, third party administrators, insurance carriers, agents, and self-insured employers in cases involving allegations of bad faith claims handling and denials of coverage.  Our firm has been particularly successful in obtaining the insurance coverage to which our clients are contractually entitled, even though their insurance carriers initially denied their claims.  We also routinely counsel and represent clients in connection with responding to Stowers and other settlement demands when a defense is being provided under a reservation of rights.

Although the firm's primary focus is on representation of clients in disputes arising from commercial lines of insurance, we also represent clients in cases involving personal lines.  The firm's attorneys have handled both commercial an personal lines cases asserting claims for breach of contract, common law bad faith, and violations of Articles 21.21 and 21.55 of the Texas Insurance Code (now found in Chapters 541 and 542 of the Texas Insurance Code), as well as Stowers claims.
