We ably handle excess insurance issues such as availability, trigger of coverage, multiple sources of coverage and policy exclusions. Our coverage dispute experience includes commercial general liability (CGL); professional negligence; automobile; commercial, industrial and residential property; specialty risk, such as environmental and toxic tort; and other forms of insurance.
