Tressler has a national reputation for representing insurers under all types of policies. Our coverage experience includes personal and commercial lines, specialty lines, excess and surplus lines and reinsurance. Our coverage attorneys include seasoned trial attorneys who have experience trying declaratory judgment actions and bad faith lawsuits. We have successfully prosecuted and defended numerous appeals involving insurance issues in many jurisdictions.

In addition to litigation support, Tressler assists both local claims offices and home offices with claims management, troubleshooting on coverage, liability and damages assessments, monitoring of losses and litigation, evaluating and consulting on settlement opportunities and global resolution, and national and regional coordination of claims handling and coverage positions.

We assist our clients with coverage investigations and determinations, as well as the drafting of coverage correspondence. Our attorneys look at the bigger picture: how do the coverage issues impact the overall resolution of the claim and what the implications are of a denial or a reservation of rights. This includes policy limit demands, evaluating estoppel and bad faith exposure, conflicts of interest, control of the defense, basic economic considerations, the business relationship between the insured and the insurer, and the effect on other claims. Our client counseling and defense of claims also focuses not just on solving the problem at hand, but also in seeing the big picture and also “managing risk” for the company and insureds.
