First Party Litigation

We represent insurance companies in all aspects and types of first party litigation in the state of Florida. In these types of cases, we represent the insurance company directly and assist them in navigating the coverage issues and attorney fee claims involved in first party cases. Our attorneys represent insurers in first party claims both in the pre-suit context and once suit is filed all the way through trial. Over the years, our attorneys have defended tens of thousands of first party cases for insurers in the state of Florida including first party cases dealing with homeowner insurance claims, automobile windshield claims and personal injury protection claims. Our attorneys have developed a reputation for implementing strategic approaches to these cases that achieve excellent results for our clients such as dismissals on the eve of trial, summary judgments and trial verdicts in favor of the insurers. When a judge or jury gets it wrong, or the Plaintiff appeals a favorable result for the insurer, our firm has a large appellate team ready to take over with decades of experience in obtaining favorable results on appeals of first party cases. Our trial and appellate level experience in first party insurance defense litigation and resources dedicated to handling these types of claims and lawsuits, make our firm one of the premier defense firms in the state for the effective representation of insurers on first party insurance claims.
