All businesses potentially need support with their insurance programs or insured claims. Most rely on insurance to protect against potentially catastrophic property loss, business interruption and liability claims. Insurance is a valuable and expensive asset, and Thompson Hine has extensive experience in helping companies make certain they are covered in the manner their insurance policy provides.
Our insurance recovery group has experience with insurance recovery on a wide array of policy forms utilized throughout the United States and Europe. We have represented policyholders in connection with a variety of claims, including long-tail environmental claims, construction defect claims, claims against directors and officers, claims against professionals, claims arising out of “fronting” and high SIR arrangements, and catastrophic liability claims involving multiple claimants. Our professionals have handled cases resulting in the recovery of tens of millions of dollars against insurers.
Our insurance recovery lawyers are always ready to go to court when necessary. At the same time, our professionals have also had considerable success in reaching negotiated or mediated settlements with insurance carriers without the expense and distraction of litigation. In this regard, some of our insurance recovery professionals have prior experience representing insurers in connection with extremely large risks, and we know how to provide the information and make the arguments that resolve claims.
