Insurance Defense
Insurance, the first practice area for Stewart & Irwin, remains one of the anchors of our reputation.
Stewart & Irwin's insurance group represents insurers in complex coverage disputes in state and federal trials and appellate courts. Our lawyers have successfully litigated high-profile, multimillion-dollar coverage disputes. Our cases have involved general liability, product liability and premises operations coverage and professional liability coverage.
Our attorneys recognize that client insights are critical to successful dispute resolution.
Insurance practice team members are capable, experienced litigators who handle multiple aspects of the insurance business, including providing counseling and advice on a variety of industry issues, such as underwriting and claims handling. Our attorneys have helped form insurance companies and served as president for a credit life and disability insurance company and a medical malpractice insurance company.
Stewart & Irwin attorneys have hundreds of years of combined experience representing insured and self insured clients large and small in defense of premises, product liability, construction injury and defect claims; transportation claims, including property damage, personal injury, cargo loss, and employment claims. We regularly represent restaurant chains, hotels, product manufacturers and distributors, trucking companies, and contractors as approved counsel for major insurance companies and third party administrators. Our expertise extends to toxic exposure claims, complex product and industrial accident cases, and professional liability claims for the legal, accounting, securities, and insurance industries.
We relish the challenge of litigation in state and federal courts and have the depth and skill to succeed for our clients at trial, in mediation and arbitration, and on appeal. Our dedicated trial teams take a principled approach to each case based on our client’s financial and legal interests, always alert to possible resolution of a case without unnecessary expense or delay.
We can’t guarantee results, but our repeat clients suggest we are meeting their expectations.
