Insurance

With more than 80 years of collective experience, Bingham McHale’s insurance group provides effective, comprehensive counsel to the insurance industry.

When insurance coverage issues result in litigation, our responsive attorneys have represented clients in all 50 states. Our experience includes acting as National Coordinating Counsel for a major U.S. Property & Casualty carrier in all 50 states for environmental coverage litigation. We represent our insurance clients at every stage of insurance coverage litigation including document discovery, depositions, motion practice, jury and court trials in state and federal courts, appeals and alternative dispute resolution.

It is not uncommon for policyholders, when pursuing a claim against their insurers, to claim Bad Faith or Extra-Contractual damages. We represent insurance carriers at every stage of Bad Faith/Extra-Contractual litigation, including pre-litigation opinions, dispositive motion practice, trials, appeals and alternative dispute resolution. We presently represent the largest insurer in the nation in Bad Faith/Extra-Contractual litigation in Indiana.

In addition to representing our insurance clients in coverage matters, we are also retained by them to defend their policyholders in lawsuits involving numerous substantive areas of the law. Our insurance lawyers have represented policyholders in the substantive areas of civil rights (§ 1981, 1983), defamation, environmental, labor, medical malpractice, personal injury, premises liability, product liability, professional liability (including attorney malpractice) and toxic tort.
