Insurance Law

Resolving insurance coverage disputes for our clients for more than half a century

Although insurance companies like to portray themselves as good friends, neighbors, and helping hands, there are many times when the relationship between the insurance company and its insureds becomes adversarial.  Insurers are armed with various defenses to coverage that they may invoke in certain circumstances, thus effectively vitiating the coverage paid for by the insured.  In such instances, it is critically important to know and understand the "rules of the game" and how to combat those defenses in order to preserve and/or maximize the available insurance coverage.  The fight for insurance coverage may be to the benefit not only of the insureds, but also to injured parties seeking compensation from the insureds.

Shayne, Dachs, Corker, Sauer & Dachs, LLP has successfully represented injured parties and insureds in insurance coverage disputes— either at the pre-lawsuit stage or as a result of litigation, such as declaratory judgment actions or direct actions against insurance companies—for the past 55 years.  As authors, columnists, commentators, and lecturers on insurance law, our opinions and expertise in these areas are highly respected and well-accepted.  We know how to fight to get the most insurance possible for our clients.

In addition, we "wrote the book," as they say, on uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage, our partners having authored the seminal treatises and articles pertaining to that particular form of insurance coverage.  Thus, we are highly experienced and skillful at handling claims involving uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage, whether in arbitration or litigation.
