Coverage Disputes & Bad Faith Claims

Strategic Representation in Coverage Disputes and Allegations of Bad Faith

When questions arise regarding whether an insurance policy provides coverage for a claim, timely and effective legal representation is critical. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we provide experienced counsel to insurance carriers, self-insured entities, and business policyholders in high-stakes coverage disputes and bad faith litigation throughout North Carolina. We understand the financial and reputational stakes involved in these cases and deliver strategic guidance to help our clients navigate the legal and ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

Navigating Policy Disputes with Clarity and Precision

Our attorneys have extensive experience interpreting policy language, exclusions, and endorsements in a wide variety of insurance lines, including commercial general liability, professional liability, property and casualty, and excess or umbrella policies. We routinely handle:

• Denial of coverage disputes
• Reservation of rights and declaratory judgment actions
• Bad faith claims and extra-contractual liability
• Coverage issues arising from multi-party litigation
• Duty to defend and indemnify disputes

We tailor our strategy to meet the client’s business objectives, whether that means negotiating a resolution or preparing for trial. Our team works closely with in-house counsel and claims professionals to deliver efficient, focused advocacy.
