Bailey Glasser represents policyholders in disputes involving first party property, business interruption, third party liability, professional liability, and D&O insurance coverage. Our insurance recovery lawyers have secured millions of dollars in insurance for our clients in jurisdictions across the United States.
Overview
We understand the claim process and work to obtain partial or interim payments from insurers, even where coverage disputes may exist on some items or issues. Our insurance recovery lawyers also help clients navigate the complexities of dealing with insurers once a loss occurs or a claim is made, helping clients to avoid time traps and other technical conditions in policies that could negatively impact recoveries. Our goal is to get your company up and running and protect your balance sheet as much as possible.
We are trial lawyers at the core. If your insurance company refuses to pay, our team is well-prepared to go to trial. We also have conducted appraisals and arbitrations for our insurance clients where that is required or more cost-effective.
The firm's experience spans the range of phases of the risk management process, including policy review, renewal issues, tender of claims, negotiation, and dispute resolution, including litigation at the trial and appellate court levels, as well as arbitration and mediation of such disputes.
