Services Overview

Our litigation support services are directed towards the attorney whose practice involves property or liability insurance related issues. We provide a variety of services at various stages of a dispute or lawsuit. By making available these resources, the attorney can obtain highly competent counsel without incurring the expense of maintaining in-house professional staff. We possess particular expertise in coverage/policy terms interpretation and industry practices.

Coverage Interpretation

Insurance policies and related documents commonly include coverages, terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations which are difficult to understand even to professionals within the insurance field. We make the attorney specifically aware of the special meanings of terms and interpret how the various policy coverage components mesh together.

Industry Practices

The business of insurance is conducted in accordance with industry customs and practices, some of which may have evolved over decades or even centuries. The collective experiences of our consulting staff and an insurance library over a century old are important resources to an attorney.

Litigation

When a dispute can't be resolved without litigation, we can assist an attorney in different ways depending upon individual circumstances. These include the following:

• Organize and analyze insurance related documents
   
• Conduct custom research using internal and external reference sources and databases
   
• Assist in the development of litigation strategies
   
• Review draft complaint to ensure technical portions relating to insurance are correct and relevant documents and parties are referenced appropriately

• Assist in preparing deponents and witnesses
