More Information
I have successfully defended insurers and professionals against claims of fraud, bad faith and punitive damages, and he is frequently retained to provide consultation and guidance on the interpretation and application of a wide variety of insurance contracts, including general liability, excessumbrella, admiralty, environmental, errors and omissions, all types of professional lines, environmental, construction, and builder’s risk. I have guided several multi-line carriers through defense, indemnity and other coverage issues involving multi-million dollar exposures such as asbestos claims, remediation of pollution and environmental claims, multi-fatality accidents, corporate fraud, and the resolution of claims by commercial enterprises that have suffered large losses.
The mission of the Professional Liability Defense Federation is to enhance the stature and effectiveness of professional liability defense professionals through education, training and the exchange of information.
