Most firms that practice insurance law represent the insurers. We don’t. We are one of the handful of law firms in the United States that handles insurance litigation on behalf of policyholders only. And we may be the only insurance firm that can lay claim to a stunning statistic – we have never lost an insurance case – ever. With more than 100 years experience among the lawyers on our team, our winning percentage speaks volumes. Simply put, we win our cases. And over the years, we've won them well.

In 2001, we obtained what was at the time the largest verdict ever in a disability insurance case in New York and established new rights to recover damages for bad faith. We were also the first law firm in New York to establish a policyholder’s right to recover treble and punitive damages from insurance companies for violation of the RICO Statute. We force insurance companies to defend policyholders who have been sued. We prosecute claims against insurers for failing to pay businesses for lost or stolen property. All totaled, we have recovered hundreds of millions in insurance coverage and benefits for our clients.

Our insurance litigation practice includes:

• Disability insurance benefits (individual policies and group cases under ERISA)
• Life insurance claims
• Business interruption claims
• Coverage actions to require your insurance company to defend and indemnify you and your business in third-party litigation
• First party property damage and casualty cases

Most of our policyholder-clients are referred to us by other attorneys or insurance brokers – professionals who recognize the quality of our work and positive results we regularly achieve.
