Resolving Liability and Casualty Insurance Disputes
With 45 years of experience largely devoted to resolving disputes with insurance companies over liability and coverage issues, the Charbonnet Law Firm has developed a deep familiarity with insurance company claim evaluation practices, defense and indemnification strategies, and settlement or trial tactics. To benefit from our law firm's experience with the resolution of insurance disputes of all kinds, contact an experienced attorney at our office in New Orleans or Metairie.
Much of our experience with litigation against insurance companies concerns the settlement or trial of motor vehicle accident claims against the other driver's liability insurance carrier. This experience is equally valuable in helping our clients realize the benefit of their own insurance coverage in disputes against their own insurers.
Our lawyers represent clients who run into problems with casualty claims filed under homeowner's policies or liability claims for coverage under an auto insurance policy. We understand that you depend on your insurer not only to pay covered claims for losses, but also to defend you if someone else files a claim against you. We can protect your interests in such insurance disputes as the following:
- Refusal of defense or indemnification of a claim filed against you in a car accident, boat accident, or premises liability claim
- Defense or indemnification problems related to claims involving the negligence or irresponsibility of children
- Bad faith refusal to investigate or pay claims for losses covered under homeowner's or renter's casualty insurance policies
- Problems with fire loss claims
- Life insurance policy disputes concerning the refusal to pay benefits or paying benefits to the wrong beneficiary
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we've heard enough horror stories about problems with insurance companies to last us a lifetime. Fortunately for our clients, we're in a position to protect your interests in the event of a loss or liability claim filed against you. If you need help getting the benefit of your insurance protection under any casualty or liability policy, contact an experienced attorney at the Charbonnet Law Firm for a free consultation.
