Insurance Defense and Coverage

Whether your entity’s insurance claim is related to inclement weather, an industrial accident, or the failure of a counter-party to deliver in whole or on time, the attorneys at SMGG recognize that prompt resolution is key to minimizing the event’s effect on operations and budgets. We bring comprehensive and in-depth understanding of first- and third-party insurance coverage analysis, issues, and disputes. We help companies analyze insurance policies and contracts, investigate claims, render coverage opinions, challenge coverage determinations, and litigate where necessary, including prosecuting and defending actions for declaratory relief.

Hallmarks of our insurance defense practice include proficiency in prevailing federal and state insurance law and targeted, cost-effective litigation. We are mindful of the many costs—financial and otherwise—that can be encountered when defending against frivolous claims, and work hand-in-hand with in-house counsel to triage cases and ensure expenditure guidelines are realistic and honored.

We defend individuals, companies, and their insurers in all manner of claims, including:

• Bad-faith
• Bodily injury and property damage
• Advertising injury
• Premises liability
• Workers’ compensation
• Employment practices liability
• Publication injury
• Theft and fidelity liability
• Director and officer liability
• Professional malpractice
• Contractor liability
• Suretyship
• Trade secret and anti-competition liability
• Regulatory actions
