Insurance Coverage
Analysis and Litigation
Recent litigation has had a profound effect on
the way healthcare professionals have conducted
business as many wrestle with the idea of “going
bare.” Our attorneys are well versed in this arena
and regularly counsel clients on the risks and
benefits of doing so. Not only do our attorneys
provide the counsel needed to structure their
businesses and protect their assets, but they also
have a number of attorneys ready to litigate any
possible action brought against our clients who have
decided to go this route.
Our analysis has involved some of the most
challenging issues that local, regional and home
office counsel and claims professionals encounter,
regarding all types of coverage issues. We have
conducted nationwide surveys of judicial decisions
for our clients and have interpreted their policies’
unique exclusions. We have been requested on several
occasions to assist in the formation of new policy
provisions.
The combination of our abilities as coverage
counsel and trial lawyers makes us uniquely
qualified to litigate our clients’ coverage issues
when necessary. Whether litigating bad faith claims,
priority of coverage disputes or declaratory
judgment actions involving availability of coverage,
we take pride in our ability to precisely analyze
and aggressively defend the interests of our
insurers.
Several of our lawyers are well known and highly
regarded for their expertise in the ever-changing
area of insurance law. This expertise encompasses
both the analysis of coverage issues and the
litigation of coverage-related disputes. We have
defended numerous third-party and first-party
extra-contractual liability actions. Our attorneys
have lectured extensively on both defense and
avoidance of such claims throughout the state of
Florida. They have prosecuted and defended
declaratory judgment actions on a broad spectrum of
issues on behalf of insurers.
