Our Insurance Coverage Litigation lawyers have been representing clients in complex coverage and insurance disputes across the country for more than 50 years. This includes serving as representation for many of the largest liability carriers in the country.
Armstrong Teasdale has a wealth of experience providing opinions relating to coverage issues, as well as representing insurers and insureds in high stakes bad faith litigation, declaratory judgment actions, vexatious refusal claims, class actions, contribution actions and disputes between carriers. We regularly handle bad faith litigation, interpleader claims, administrative and regulatory proceedings, premium fraud litigation, sales practices and market conduct cases, including class actions and RICO cases, subrogation and extra-contractual claims. In each case, our lawyers first assess the risk of each individual situation and provide guidance so that clients can make informed decisions about litigation. This includes proactively evaluating insurance needs for clients to ensure their coverage is appropriate from the start, especially in the case of a merger or acquisition.
Our team of seasoned trial lawyers includes former counsel to the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance, offering unique insight into regulatory and compliance issues.
