Overview
Lawson Lundell’s Insurance Litigation Group advises and represents clients in a variety of insurance-related contexts. We represent our corporate clients, health and welfare benefit trusts, private and public sector pension plans, and insurance companies on both insurance coverage and liability matters. We also act for insurance brokers and agents in relation to errors and omissions claims, advise on specialized matters relating to corporate issues affecting directors and officers liability, and assist clients in preparing submissions to government regarding proposed amendments to insurance legislation in Canada.
On the coverage side, we review policies and provide coverage opinions, and we pursue and defend coverage actions seeking defence and indemnity from the insurer and damages for bad faith. We act as counsel in overlapping coverage disputes among multiple insurers, and advise clients in relation to the defence of partially insured claims.
On the liability side, we are often retained by our corporate clients and/or their insurers to defend insured liability claims. Our liability defence practice includes complex multi-party disputes arising out of product liability claims, engineering and construction claims, class actions, professional negligence claims, directors and officers’ liability, accident and disability, fiduciary and breach of trust claims, fire and property damage, and subrogated claims.
