Insurance Cost Recovery

Insurance is supposed to be a safety net, but it is not always safe.

Insurance policies are complicated at best and interpretations can cut back on proceeds an insurance company decides to pay. Members of Wolf Wallenstein’s Insurance practice concentrate on representing individual and corporate policyholders from the earliest stages of policy language negotiations through claims, arbitration, and litigation.

Wolf Wallenstein attorneys advise clients on a wide array of insurance and risk management issues across diverse policy types, including commercial general liability (CGL), first-party and third-party property, business interruption and extra expense (BI/EE), environmental, construction, and directors and officers (D&O) coverage. We work to advise how to align policies with policyholder needs through favorable rates and terms, while avoiding gaps in coverage. We also provide counsel on legal requirements and regulations related to insurance.
When needed, we collaborate with clients to pursue coverage claims against insurance companies, including bad faith claims, in federal and state courts across the United States.

Our policyholder clients include real estate investors and owners, Fortune 500 companies, business entities, individuals, and others in California and across the country.
