Insurance Claim Investigation

Our insurance defense lawyers investigate claims made by policyholders to assess their validity, examine the evidence, and determine the appropriate legal response.

Policy Coverage Analysis

CHDB attorneys review insurance policies to understand the extent of coverage provided, interpret policy language, and advise insurance companies on whether a claim falls within the policy’s scope.

Tailored Defense Strategy

Your legal team develops effective insurance defense strategies tailored to the specific case, considering the facts, applicable laws, and any potential weaknesses or strengths in the claim.

Insurance Defense Litigation

If an insurance claim cannot be resolved through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods, CHDB’s defense lawyers handle all aspects of the litigation process, including preparing legal documents, conducting legal research, presenting arguments, and cross-examining witnesses.

Insurance Settlement Negotiation

When handling insurance defense claims, CHDB’s attorneys engage in settlement negotiations with policyholders or their attorneys to reach a fair and reasonable resolution. We aim to minimize potential losses for the insurance company while protecting their rights and interests.

Insurance Fraud Investigation

In cases where insurance fraud is suspected, our experienced insurance defense attorneys conduct investigations to gather evidence, assess the validity of the claim, and defend against fraudulent or exaggerated claims.

Defense Against Bad Faith Insurance Claims

Our firm defends insurance companies against allegations of bad faith practices, where policyholders claim that the insurer unreasonably denied or delayed their claim, failed to provide a proper investigation, or acted inappropriately during the claims handling process.

Appellate Representation

If a case goes to appeal, our insurance defense lawyers handle the appellate process, presenting arguments and advocating for the insurance company’s position before higher courts.
