David P. Rossmiller has a multi-state practice and specializes in complex insurance coverage advice and litigation. David’s insurance practice includes a broad range of issues, including general commercial liability insurance, construction defect, auto and homeowners’ coverage, environmental property damage, first-party coverage, professional liability coverage, directors and officers liability, business interruption insurance, coverage issues regarding clergy and other sex abuse cases, and many other types of coverage matters. David routinely counsels insurers on coverage issues and helps clients avoid coverage traps in the eight states in which he practices.
Besides insurance coverage, David’s practice includes insurance defense litigation, railroad law and litigation, trucking law and litigation, medical malpractice, aviation claims, and litigation of trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade secrets and other intellectual property cases. David also has many years of experience in managing environmental contamination clean-up cases and in environmental advice and litigation under CERCLA and state environmental laws. He has extensive litigation experience in employment law cases. David also represents numerous property and casualty insurers as a lobbyist against insurance bad faith bills in the Oregon Legislature.
David’s expertise has been widely recognized by his peers and the insurance industry due in part to his broad knowledge of insurance law and issues on a national level. He has written extensively for the Appleman on Insurance treatise and related publications and is a past author of the Insurance Coverage Law Blog, a popular and influential blog on insurance coverage matters and industry development. In addition, David has been quoted on insurance and other legal topics in numerous media stories including, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The New Orleans Times-Picayune, The Oregonian and many more.
Before becoming a lawyer, David was an award-winning investigative reporter in Arizona for the now-defunct afternoon daily newspaper The Phoenix Gazette, where he covered crime and city politics.
