Insurance Coverage

Jacksonville Personal Injury Settlements and Disputes

Insurance coverage issues range from simple matters to complex, multi-faceted issues.  While our firm primarily represents plaintiff clients who are policyholders, Fallgatter Farmand & Catlin also represents clients in insurance defense cases.  Examples of insurance coverage cases our firm handles include the following:

First party claims - claims involving a lawsuit brought directly against an insurance company for denied payment of benefits.

Third party claims - lawsuits against an insurance company for failure to defend in a lawsuit brought against the policyholder it insures, or for failing to pay a claim on behalf of the policyholder for a claim filed against the insured policyholder.

• Commercial liability cases, such as disability, fire and directors/officers errors and omissions
• Representation of clients in construction industry insurance claims, such as builders and property owners
• Homeowner’s claims - fire loss, water damage, mold, etc.
• Uninsured and under-insured motorist claims
• Insurance fraud, brought by civil and criminal actions (plaintiff action and defense representation)

Typically, insurance policies are written in contract language, which is often difficult to understand, even for seasoned businessmen and women.  Our firm assists clients with interpreting and analyzing insurance policies, not only in an effort to resolve disputes, but also by offering legal advice when entering into a policyholder contract.  We also strive to protect the insured by helping them understand the coverage they have paid for, and the benefits to which they are entitled.
