Experienced Guidance With Insurance Issues Involving Construction Projects

Many construction disputes, particularly construction defect claims, involve two distinct matters: the dispute itself and whether any insurance carriers are liable for payment.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Often, developers and contractors have purchased insurance which is inadequate and ineffective to insure risks that they believe are covered. At Cox Padmore Skolnik & Shakarchy LLP (CPS&S), we offer a comprehensive review of your insurance policies and coverage by lawyers who are experienced in dealing with the insurance industry. Our goal is to make you aware of coverage gaps and risks and improving your coverage so that when a problem occurs, your carrier is more likely to defend and indemnify claims that could substantially impact your business. If you are faced with an actual insurance claim, we are also available to help.
