illinois insurance defense lawyers

Insurance law is highly complex, and litigation cases can be costly and protracted. For this reason, many firms do not get involved with this area of the law. It can also be difficult for insurers to determine what is covered and what is not, and whether a matter should be settled or litigated. With complicated legal issues at play and significant resources at stake, it is essential to have strong legal counsel in your corner to advocate for your best interests.

BCM Law has nearly two decades of experience representing insurance carriers from all industries in Illinois and throughout the country. Our award-winning lawyers have extensive knowledge of insurance law and litigation, and what is necessary to secure the favorable outcomes for our carrier clients. We have a strong track record of success defending the interests of our clients before all state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels.

We represent insurance carriers for a wide range of legal matters, including but not limited to:

Skilled Policy Consulting and Legal Advice

Insurance policies are interwoven with numerous exceptions and exclusions that often seem contradictory and can be difficult to interpret. We are often called upon to review policies for our carrier clients to determine if the policy covers or protects an insured for a particular circumstance. Drawing on our industry experience, we interpret policies for insurers and advise on issues such as whether to compensate the insured or pursue defense litigation.

When to File a Declaratory Judgment Action

In instances when an insurer issues a denial of coverage or decides to defend the insured under a reservation of rights, it may be appropriate to pursue a declaratory judgment. A declaratory judgment is a proactive step that can help clarify the legal obligations of the insurer. There are several issues to consider in deciding whether to file such an action, and the procedures can vary widely depending on the local jurisdiction. Our lawyers practice regularly in venues throughout the Illinois, and our familiarity with the local courts gives our clients a significant advantage in declaratory judgment actions.

At BCM law, we understand that no two cases are exactly alike and that unique circumstances present frequent challenges in interpreting the coverages and exclusions of a policy. We put our in-depth experience to work to examine your case thoroughly and determine the best path forward to a positive resolution.
