What we defend

The matters carriers actually assign.

Coverage and liability work across Florida, handled by counsel who report the way claims departments want to be reported to.

01

First-Party Property

Coverage analysis and defense across fire, water, sinkhole, and structural claims under Florida policy forms. We start with the policy and the handling record, then build the defense the file actually supports.

  • Fire and smoke loss defense
  • Water, mold, and pipe-burst claims
  • Sinkhole and structural claims
  • Hurricane and windstorm loss
  • Vandalism and arson
02

Casualty & Liability

Auto, premises, and bodily-injury defense, including complex and high-exposure casualty matters. Our bench includes counsel who set reserves on files like these before they ever became suits.

  • Auto liability defense
  • Premises liability
  • Bodily injury and high-exposure casualty
  • Commercial general liability
  • Construction defect under CGL policies
03

Bad-Faith Defense

Statutory and common-law bad-faith defense, built on a close read of the claims-handling record. We know what the file is supposed to look like, because our people built files like it.

  • Section 624.155 statutory bad faith
  • Common-law third-party bad faith
  • Civil remedy notice response
  • Extra-contractual and excess exposure
  • Claims-handling record analysis
04

Coverage Opinions

Pre-litigation opinions that help the desk decide whether to defend, settle, or deny. Written for the person who has to make the call, not for another lawyer.

  • Coverage determination and analysis
  • Reservation of rights
  • Declaratory judgment actions
  • Duty to defend and duty to indemnify
  • Policy interpretation under Florida law
05

Appeals

Appellate defense that protects favorable trial outcomes through the Florida courts, and challenges the ones that went the wrong way.

  • Florida District Courts of Appeal
  • Post-trial motions and preservation
  • Coverage appeals
  • Bad-faith appeals
06

Self-Insured & Corporate Defense

Defense for self-insured entities and corporate risk departments that manage exposure directly, without a carrier between them and the claim.

  • Self-insured retention matters
  • Corporate risk and liability defense
  • Third-party administrator assignments
  • Panel counsel engagements
