Insurance claims are complex, and the law governing claims is evolving constantly to address new issues and arguments.
UB Greensfelder represents clients in complex insurance claims involving construction defects, environmental contamination, mold, concurrent causation, intentional conduct, fraud, bad faith, and allocation of losses. We partner with insurers to resolve first-party and third-party claims fairly and equitably – to pay claims that are owed and to resist claims that are inflated or not owed at all.
Who We Are
We have extensive experience counseling clients on their rights and obligations related to all types of insurance policies. As a full-service law firm, we take a multidisciplinary approach, relying on attorneys from a wide range of practices (including tax, environmental, real estate, products liability, healthcare, construction, and transactional) when claims present issues that require their special expertise.
We take pride in our long history of shaping state law concerning insurance. Over several decades, we have obtained scores of published court decisions from state and federal courts. We have a strong history and heritage of being among the leading insurance coverage attorneys in and beyond the Midwest, and we are committed to maintaining that tradition of excellence.
How We Help
We regularly assist insurers, manufacturers, directors, trucking and logistics companies, and other companies in handling claims from their inception through successful conclusion. This may entail supervising claim investigations, providing coverage opinions, drafting reservations of rights or denial letters, and prosecuting and defending coverage litigation. From defending coverage litigation involving a $300,000,000 judgment in South America to the latest coverage issues surrounding opioid litigation across the United States, we understand what is important to insurers and how to prevail in the most complex cases.
We help clients understand their insurance coverage, identify gaps, and protect their rights under their insurance policies. We can also provide opinions related to coverage and help clients navigate the issues that frequently arise in complex insurance litigation.
We represent clients in state and federal courts in breach of contract claims, declaratory judgments, interpleaders, equitable garnishment actions, and lawsuits seeking extra-contractual and exemplary damages over and above the limits of applicable policies. The types of claims in which we have represented parties include those brought under automobile (commercial, fleet, and individual), business interruption, commercial general liability, commercial property, director and officer, errors and omissions, environmental, and medical liability policies.
