DEFENSE OF INSUREDS

Individuals or organizations that have insurance.

Our network of local counsel is available to assist insureds when a lawsuit is filed against them. Examples of some of our successful efforts can be read here. 

INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS and FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS

International Recoveries can act as another set of eyes for insurers and provide a comprehensive assessment as to whether a claim may be fraudulent or represents a covered loss. Take for example, the case when the insured fell from a building during a rooftop party, International recoveries retained a forensic pharmacologist who, based on the insured’s blood alcohol content (“BAC”) at the time he was admitted to the hospital, calculated the insured’s BAC at the time of the occurrence and found a nexus between that BAC and the accident. The underwriter successfully denied coverage. For more examples of claims that could cost you if not carefully investigated, we have covered some interesting ones, 

FIRST PARTY DEFENSE

Courts can impose sanctions for wrongful denial of a claim by an insurer that may include punitive damages, interest and/or costs including counsel fees. In the case of an air ambulance repatriation, we were able to save the insurer a fortune from a wrongfully submitted claim. 

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

“Wherever They Occur and Whenever Needed”

We regularly refer insureds to personal injury lawyers, thus providing them with the opportunity to recover for pain and suffering, work loss,  and other benefits, and providing the opportunity for the insurance company to recover its claim payments through subrogation.
