Insurance Defense
We have served as appointed counsel for clients insured by AIG, Chubb, CLIC, National Union, St. Paul (U.S. and Canada), Church Mutual and Lexington Insurance Company as well as others.
ELM lawyers who practice insurance defense law:
Representative matters:
- We represented a major international relief and development organization in defending against a defamation lawsuit brought by a former employee in the Republic of Georgia. We participated in various legal proceedings with local counsel in Tbilisi, Georgia, and were successful in getting the Georgian court to set aside a million dollar default judgment. We then participated in the trial which resulted in a complete victory for and exoneration of our client. We also successfully persuaded the client organization's insurance carrier to pay for our fees, including the travel costs attendant to several trips to the Republic of Georgia, so that the client had minimal out of pocket expenses in defending what would otherwise have been a very expensive lawsuit.
- We were appointed by an insurance company to defend a personal injury suit by a student against the insured, an educational institution. The student claimed to have been injured during a field research outing, and sought damages and reimbursement medical expenses. After investigating the facts, we concluded the case had no merit whatsoever, and successfully persuaded plaintiff counsel to dismiss the suit with prejudice for no recovery whatsoever.
