Importance of Early Involvement by an Experienced Attorney
Many denied claims can be turned into covered claims by a skilled and knowledgeable insurance attorney. Entering the case early allows experienced insurance counsel to bring all existing extrinsic facts favoring coverage to the attention of the insurer.
Early analysis and preparation materially assists in establishing potential coverage under the policy and rendering alleged exclusions potentially inapplicable, which then gives rise to a duty to defend.
