Insurance Law
The Law Firm That Will Get Your Insurance Company’s Attention!
The Insurance Law Expertise
Year after year you pay your insurance premiums. But the moment you have a claim, you discover that the insurance companies’ “standard operating procedure” is usually to deny coverage for your situation, whatever it may be. We think this is nonsense. As a litigation firm with a national reputation for aggressively litigating and consistently winning complex multi-million dollar cases, we have developed an expertise in going after the insurance companies – and making them pay.
We Create Avenues Of Insurance Coverage
Successfully litigating any business litigation or insurance issue requires a strong working knowledge of insurance law. Unfortunately, most law firms don’t have this, so insurance issues are often overlooked. In contrast, Callahan & Blaine has successfully created avenues of coverage in a wide range of cases where the client didn’t even realize that coverage existed.
The Knowledge That Makes The Difference
Callahan & Blaine has a very sophisticated understanding of insurance law. Our insurance law department is under the leadership of department head Ed Susolik and managing partner Daniel J. Callahan. Mr. Susolik, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California School of Law, teaches classes on insurance law, and serves as an editor on the Rutter Group Guide to Insurance Litigation, which is the leading treatise on insurance law in California. Mr. Callahan is known as one of America’s preeminent insurance law litigators.
A Broad Range Of Experience
Callahan & Blaine’s expertise covers the full spectrum of insurance law. We’ve tried, litigated and handled hundreds of first party insurance claims, including major claims arising out of natural disasters, toxic mold contamination, water damage, pollution, life insurance and disability insurance. In the third party context, our cases have included advertising injury claims, Cumis counsel, duty to defend, wrongful failure to settle, reimbursement, rescission, trade secret misappropriation, and more. We’re also well versed in applying insurance coverage to the mortgage industry (click here to read our white paper on “The Mortgage Lending Meltdown: Pending Litigation and Insurance Issues”).
We represent policyholders who have been wrongfully denied insurance benefits, including Fortune 500 companies, professionals, individuals, and start-up businesses. We represent insurance industry professionals such as agents, brokers, underwriters, adjusters and risk managers. And we can represent you.
