Insurance

From the Firm's inception, Segal McCambridge attorneys have provided a variety of services to insurers and reinsurers, including coverage analysis, loss counseling, adjustment advice, policy drafting and defense of claims at both the trial and appellate level.  Our expertise includes a strong emphasis on alternative dispute resolution, including appraisal, arbitration and mediation procedures and we often help clients successfully resolve insurance coverage and reinsurance disputes without formal and expensive litigation.  Our attorneys are well-versed in the interpretation and applicability of all types of insurance products and reinsurance agreements and their relationship to first-party and third-party claims.  We have advised clients in many cases of first impression and have helped shape insurance law in several jurisdictions.
