Importance of Local Defense Counsel in Motor Vehicle Accident CasesThe jurisdiction in which a motor vehicle accident lawsuit will be filed is a critical factor in developing a successful defense strategy. Because of local defense counsel's experience in a particular field, type of litigation or jurisdiction, he or she is in an excellent position to evaluate liability and develop an effective defense strategy. Contact our firm to schedule a consultation with an insurance defense attorney to discuss how we can assist in the handling of a lawsuit filed against one of your insureds. Declaratory Judgment Actions in Insurance Coverage CasesBecause there are many advantages to resolving insurance coverage cases as early as possible, a majority of insurance coverage cases are disposed of through declaratory judgment actions. Courts in different states and even courts within the same state may handle declaratory judgment actions differently; therefore, hiring local counsel who is knowledgeable of the local rules and practices of the courts in which the motion will be filed is often critical to the early and successful resolution of insurance coverage disputes. Contact our firm to schedule a consultation with an attorney to discuss how we can assist you in making strategic decisions, preparing motions and filing motions in insurance coverage cases. SubrogationSubrogation is an important tool used by insurance companies to recover claims outlays. Because subrogation principles can involve unique issues and vary dramatically by state, local counsel who is familiar with the subrogation laws of the relevant jurisdiction is often critical to the successful prosecution of subrogation actions. Contact us to schedule a consultation to discuss how an attorney from our firm can assist in the planning and prosecution of insurance subrogation actions. Ethical Issues and Conflicts of Interest in Insurance DefenseLocal defense counsel can often provide valuable insight into local law and practice to avoid or appropriately handle conflicts of interest and ethical concerns. Avoiding or appropriately handling conflicts can result in numerous benefits to the insurer, including retention of its right to control the defense and avoidance of bad faith claims. Contact us to schedule a consultation to discuss how an attorney from our firm can assist in avoiding or appropriately handling conflicts of interest and ethical concerns that arise in the context of insurance defense.
