Insurance Defense and Litigation

Our firm provides comprehensive defense services to insurance carriers and their insureds throughout New York. We handle claims ranging from traditional negligence actions to complex, high-exposure litigation, combining strategic judgment with a commitment to efficiency, accuracy, and results.

We have defended clients across a spectrum of matters, including claims alleging:

  • Personal Injury and Wrongful Death arising from motor vehicle accidents, sporting/recreational activities/events, negligent maintenance/unsafe conditions of property, and negligent security

  • Civil Rights violations against municipalities and their employees

  • Property Damage actions from fire, water intrusion, construction defects, utility failures, and environmental incidents

  • Product Liability, including design, manufacturing, and failure to warn claims

Our attorneys understand the business realities of insurance defense. We work closely with claims professionals and risk managers to evaluate exposure early, manage litigation efficiently, and position each case for the best possible outcome—whether through early resolution, negotiated settlement, or trial.
