From Risk to Resolution

Read our Financial Lines success stories to learn how our Claims Team helped clients optimize business outcomes before, during, and after a loss.

Failure to tender a lawsuit to the client’s General Liability carrier

A claim stemmed from the insured (an insurance agent) failing to tender a lawsuit for their client’s General Liability carrier, resulting in a seven figure default judgment against the client.

Failure to draft and properly apply law on estate documents

The claimant alleged the insured law firm improperly created estate planning documents which did not correctly appoint a trustee, potentially exposing the claimant to tax liability in the range of tens of millions of dollars (~USD$60 million)
