Insuring your business for present and future situations is an important part of planning your business' survival. Consistent with the firm's philosophy of early intervention to minimize risk, we advise clients early on regarding issues arising from the application and interpretation of insurance policies to ensure the best possible outcome.
We help you anticipate your insurance needs so that you are properly covered in all situations. At Cox Padmore Skolnik & Shakarchy, headquartered in New York, Colorado and Jerusalem, our attorneys are familiar with the intricate details of the insurance business. We are retained by many businesses to review their circumstances and provide evaluations or opinion letters to guide the client through potential pitfalls and avoid allegations of bad faith.
At CPS&S, we represent corporations, and self-insured entities in resolving complicated coverage issues arising from claims made on both first and third-party insurance polices. Many of these issues arise from the alleged failure to defend under liability policies or arise out of a failure to settle claims that result in bad faith litigation.
We also recognize that in many situations the client is best served by avoiding litigation. Our attorneys have extensive experience in drafting reservation of rights letters and in dealing with the ethical and practical implications of the status of the relationship between the insurer, the insured, and defense counsel. In addition, our coverage review attorneys can provide innovative opinions for our clients who seek to rewrite insurance policy language.

- General Liability Coverage
