Insurance coverage actions generally involve an insurer and the insured. The insured is seeking to recover under a policy of insurance, and the central legal question is whether the insured’s policy covers the loss or liability. Our Insurance litigation services cover such areas as construction defects, reinsurance, catastrophic loss, bad faith, disability, insurance fraud, and more. Other Insurance-related services include locating and adapting standardized policy language, reviewing documents, researching and analyzing cases, training and educational symposia, interpreting policy language, and analyzing state regulations governing the business of insurance.
Insurance coverage actions can involve complex issues, including disputes between insurers related to matters such as primary/excess coverage or reinsurance. Insurance coverage cases tend to focus on the language of the policy and the case law analyzing the policy language.
Insurance compliance involves the regulation of the business of insurance, from rates to advertising/solicitation to licensing of Intermediaries. Insurance companies must get into compliance and stay in compliance in order to avoid regulator investigations and ultimately, penalties for non-compliance. Insurance compliance is primarily handled by compliance staff within insurance companies, but often companies have outside counsel handle responses to investigations by Regulators. Shurlaw Partners has therefore positioned itself to act as an oil in the wheel of progress by providing legal and regulatory compliance services to its numerous clients.

The parties to the action are typically the insured and the third-party claimant. The legal issues revolve around whether the insured defendant is liable to a third party, and if so, for how much. Insurance defense cases tend to focus on the facts of a particular incident or occurrence.
