What Is Insurance Litigation?
Insurance litigation is the legal process used to resolve disputes between policyholders and insurers. These disputes often occur when there is a difference in opinion regarding policy interpretation, coverage limits, claim values, or the insurer’s responsibility to provide compensation.
Insurance litigation may involve negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings, depending on the circumstances of the dispute. Every case begins with a careful review of the insurance policy, supporting documentation, correspondence, and the facts surrounding the claim. The objective is to determine whether the insurer has complied with the policy terms and applicable laws.
This area of law applies to both personal and commercial insurance matters, including situations involving property losses, business interruption, professional liability, automobile claims, disability income, and other forms of insurance coverage.
