The Commercial & Professional Insurance Defense practice group at Montgomery McCracken has served insurance carriers and self insureds for over a quarter of a century. Our strength is the defense of high exposure commercial and professional liability claims and the direct representation of insurers in substantial coverage and alleged bad faith matters. We have distinguished ourselves by the consistent and excellent results obtained cost-effectively for insurers and their insureds. Our experience in the defense of liability claims includes the representation of insureds through a wide variety of insurance companies and self-insureds.
In addition, a substantial focus of our practice is the representation of insurance carriers directly in coverage and bad faith matters. We serve both as coverage counsel and as litigation counsel involving issues including, but not limited to, bad faith, separate duty to defend, late notice, reservation of rights, estoppel against insurers, late notice by insureds, right to counsel issues, consent to settle issues, and reverse bad faith - "the insured's good-faith duty."
Our clients include some of the largest insurance companies in the world, specialized professional liability carriers, regional insurance carriers and self-insurance pools in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Through procedures that are rigorously enforced by a system of review, we offer our clients the assurance that every file assigned to every lawyer is handled in compliance with all reporting requirements and is defended in accordance with a specific plan authorized by the insurance carrier.
At Montgomery McCracken our track record is based on a diverse group of talented and aggressive lawyers with particular strengths in successful trial work and in the early identification and resolution of exposure files. In our practice, we distinguish ourselves through incorporating effective oversight and internal guidelines to assure cost-effectiveness and quality representation to all of our clients.
