Insurance Defense Litigation
While “insurance defense” is a broad term which many law firms use to describe a relatively narrow range of expertise, at HRKM, we offer insurance companies the expertise and ability to defend them and their insureds in a much broader range of matters. In this respect, HRKM is a true ‘insurance defense” firm.
Many “insurance defense” firms offer a practice that is generally limited to handling claims involving “bodily injury” or “property damage” that would typically be covered under a liability insurance policy and/or “part A” of a typical commercial general liability policy (“CGL”). At HRKM, in addition to those “part A” claims, HRKM offers our clients the unique ability to handle many other types of cases typically covered under a “CGL” policy. Specifically, we have significant experience litigating cases alleging “personal” and “advertising” injury such as those typically covered under “part B” of a “CGL” policy. HRKM regularly handles these “coverage B” claims including, but not limited to, claims involving copyright violation, libel, slander, false arrest and malicious prosecution. Accordingly, a client can have confidence that, unlike most insurance defense firms, HRMK can handle virtually any type of claim that could arise which would typically be covered under their “CGL” policy.
Moreover, at HRKM, “insurance defense” is not limited solely to the defense of insureds. Our attorneys also regularly represent many insurance companies themselves in cases including, but not limited to, “bad faith” claims and insurance coverage disputes. Accordingly, the firm ensures that it stays abreast of the very latest legal developments with respect to any and all laws and regulations that affect the entire insurance industry.
