PROPERTY INSURANCE & SUBROGATION
The Property Insurance and Subrogation Practice Department provides the experienced attorneys and extensive resources necessary to serve our clients legal needs in the demanding first party property insurance area.
Our Department includes a Complex Property Group and a Subrogation and Recovery Group where our attorneys handle and manage commercial and industrial losses including fires, explosions, catastrophes and those related to machinery, equipment, products and facilities under construction. Our attorneys have successfully served our clients’ coverage and recovery interests on Property Damage and Time Element matters involving heavy and light manufacturing facilities, power generation facilities, petroleum facilities, high rise complexes, retail centers, resorts, hospitals, universities, apartments, condominiums, and senior centers.
Clients engage our attorneys at the earliest stages of the loss, enabling us to
provide the appropriate legal services expeditiously and economically. Our
strategy of Managing Expectations benefits our clients and their insureds
through early identification of disputed issues and reduces both the expense of
litigation and exposure to bad faith claims.
