Insurance Litigation Technical Support
Whether our client is the insured or the insurance carrier, we use our expert industry and regulatory knowledge to provide technical support for litigation and alternative dispute resolution including settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and trial. The types of projects we work on include mining-related sites, landfills, and complex cleanup sites that involve up to hundreds of millions of dollars. We collaborate with the insurers counsel to provide analysis and internal reports that support claim management decisions. Our experts also assess the categorization and reasonableness of claimed costs, aid in identifying subject matter experts, and evaluate coverage defenses to help our clients be successful while navigating legal challenges.
