• Draft reservation of rights letters
• Assist the insurer to obtain necessary documents and evidence
• Take examinations under oath
• Provide coverage opinions
• Draft denial letters
• Prepare and file declaratory judgment actions when appropriate.

An Important Firm Specialty for over 30 years

While many defense firms handle an occasional insurance-fraud claim, our Insurance Fraud team devotes a large portion of its day-to-day practice to handling insurance fraud matters and has done so for over 30 years. We have taken hundreds of examinations under oath involving a wide range of claims, including suspected or determined arson, staged theft, auto theft, fire loss, exaggerated contents and property loss, fraud/misrepresentation in the application for insurance, and misrepresentation and concealment by the insured during the presentation of the claim.
