Practice :: Insurance

Insurance is pervasive in our business and personal lives. It demands our attention, and it costs a lot of money. But the only time you read your policy is when something goes wrong, and it is then that you need a very competent lawyer who has real experience handling disputes in this specialized area. Insurance is invaluable, and you expect your claim to be covered, of course, especially after paying premiums. So, it is important to leave nothing to chance when selecting a lawyer to handle your claim.

I have significant expertise in insurance litigation. I have litigated claims involving many different types of policies, including health, homeowners, business premises, title, life, disability, fidelity, surety and directors and officers. I only represent individual or group insureds, but I have represented large insurance companies in the past. Having seen and heard both sides, I have a very good working knowledge of how insurance carriers operate, and how claims are made and handled.

It is important to note that in Florida, the law provides for an award of attorneys fees to the insured and against the insurance company, if the insured sues and recovers the amount of the claim after being denied coverage. This gives me some leeway in deciding whether to represent you on an hourly or contingency basis, and it gives the insurance company something to think about if it decides to be unreasonable in denying your claim and starting a lawsuit.
