Representative Matters
- Recovered more than $13 million from a group of direct and additional-insured carriers for a major homebuilder in reimbursement of costs incurred to defend and settle a high-exposure construction defect lawsuit.
- Convinced an insurer that a significant trucking accident involved multiple occurrences and therefore provided multiple “per occurrence” limits, which created millions of dollars of additional indemnity coverage.
