Insurance
carriers often attempt to disclaim policy coverage rights,
rather than promptly honoring clearly valid claims. Goldberg & Connolly's Policyholder Coverage Group represents entities in disputes where
insurance carriers have engaged in such practices. We assist
policyholder entities in leveling the playing field by enforcing
the terms of business insurance policies. We assist clients
in obtaining the full policy benefits for which they have
paid.
Maintaining
insurance coverage is an essential asset protection strategy
for any viable business. We focus expertise by representing
only policyholders. We do not represent insurers in coverage
disputes.
.
Our
attorneys work with insurance brokers and agents, corporate
risk managers, as well as clients' financial professionals
and in-house counsel to pursue insurance coverage claims.
We help structure settlement and litigation strategies that
compel insurers to assume full financial responsibility when
and where they should.
When
our clients face significant third-party liability exposure,
we take measures on their behalf to ensure that insurers live
up to both their defense and indemnity obligations. We
routinely enforce coverage rights under liability policies
of all types, including CGL, umbrella and excess, as well
as other specialty liability policies. We are often
called upon to defend our clients' interests in Labor Law
240/241 (New York Scaffold Law) actions when unjustified coverage
disclaimers by compensated carriers leave policyholder companies
at risk. When our clients suffer first party property or business
losses, we also enforce indemnity obligations under applicable
commercial property policies, such as Builders Risk.

& Connolly attorneys have written many articles on insurance
