Our team of professionals assume various roles when responding to claims including investigating claims, interpreting policy provisions, the appropriate application of policy exclusions, proactively preventing potential bad faith claims and, when necessary, zealously defending coverage positions in litigation and on appeal, and litigating declaratory judgment actions.
Extra-contractual claims pose a unique set of risks to insurers, implicating their business operations and opening their company to potentially vast exposures. Our attorneys help insurers and claims representatives proactively prevent potential causes of bad faith insurance allegations and work with insurers during the claims process to minimize bad faith exposure.
Representative claims handled include, among others, construction defect claims, environmental claims, wrongful death claims, personal injury claims, commercial losses and property disputes, mass and toxic tort claims, primacy of coverage disputes, additional insured claims, business interruption claims, insurance fraud matters, coronavirus related claims, rescission of policies based on material misrepresentations, lawyer malpractice and other professional liability claims, workers compensation claims, and employer liability claims.
That includes, among other things, careful consideration of and providing relevant exposure and risk transfer analyses. We pride ourselves on our strict adherence to client billing and reporting guidelines, and our ability to provide clients with realistic assessments on settlement value, degree of exposure and likelihood of success at trial. Our clients know that strategies employed by Trif & Modugno in connection with any associated litigation are aimed specifically at “prying the proverbial settlement window open,” and otherwise moving the cases toward resolution.
