Insurance Defense

Our experience in the defense of liability claims includes the representation of insureds through a wide variety of insurance companies and self-insureds, and principally focuses on personal injury claims, wrongful death, fire insurance claims, catastrophic property loss claims, wrongful death, and real estate title claims.

We serve both as coverage counsel and as litigation counsel involving issues including, but not limited to bad faith, separate duty to defend, late notice, reservation of rights, estoppel against insurers, late notice by insureds, right to counsel, consent to settle issues and reverse bad faith. We have been involved in coverage disputes concerning most major lines of insurance on behalf of insurers in matters including: personal injury claims, fire insurance claims, catastrophic property loss claims and real estate title claims.

At Carey, Jarrard & Walker, L.L.P., we promote smooth and accurate communication of critical facts between the attorney and the client. It encourages shared strategic decisions, promotes individual attorney accountability, and affords clients a pivotal role in how the case is handled. Our client focus assures not only vigorous legal representation but also means close attention to client needs for prompt reporting, adherence to litigation plans and meeting billing requirements. Clients hear from assigned attorneys regularly, are provided with timely recommendations regarding case handling and strategy, get prompt return of phone calls and are provided with timely and meaningful status reports. Strong emphasis is also placed on prompt and cost effective file closure.
