Insurance Claim Litigation Support and Consultation

Corporate Risk Consulting, Inc.’s insurance claim litigation consultation services have been specifically developed for clients who utilize law firms to handle their property and casualty-related claims and issues.  Given the costly nature of litigated claims, it is in the insured’s best interest to see that all is being done to facilitate a sensible and economical resolution to each of their open litigated claims.

To assist in the resolution of such claims, Corporate Risk Consulting, Inc. uses its expertise in coverage and policy terms interpretation.  Insurance policies commonly include industry specific terms, coverages, exclusions, conditions, and limitations which even the most seasoned insurance professionals may find difficult to fully comprehend.  Thus, we work with counsel to assure that our clients’ insurance policies’ specifics are fully brought to light and completely understood.

All too often insureds will go through a lengthy and expensive discovery phase and then be advised to settle the claim.  While this may be the appropriate route to pursue at times, it should not be the norm.  Given our resources and experience, we are able to work closely with our clients and their counsel to achieve superior cost-effective litigated claims resolutions.

The scope of services provided with our insurance claim litigation support and consultation will typically include the following items:

   •  Provide objective expert advice on insurance coverage issues, insurance-related litigation, and claims handling issues.   

   •  Review complaints to make certain that all parties and forms are referenced correctly.
