Kilpatrick Townsend’s Insurance Recovery team is nationally and internationally recognized for its experience in the preservation and recovery of policyholder insurance-related assets. Team members successfully secured benefits arising out of projects or disputes venued throughout the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Dominican Republic, Norway, India, Puerto Rico, Portugal and Venezuela. The team enjoyed substantial success in recovering insurance proceeds for its clients and establishing favorable law for policyholders.

The Insurance Recovery team has extensive experience representing and advising policyholders regarding a wide array of commercial insurance coverage issues and disputes. We routinely handle coverage disputes involving:

  • Property damage and business interruption losses resulting from catastrophic accidents (fires, explosions, water intrusion, etc.) and natural events (hurricanes, cyclones, etc.)
  • Construction-related claims (including under professional liability, first-party property, environmental and builder’s risk policies, and performance bonds)
  • Technology and intellectual property (including patent, trademark and trade dress disputes, copyright infringement, and unfair competition)
  • Commercial and business insurance recovery (including claims arising out of products and other manufacturing-related liability, antitrust and related allegations, insurance company bad faith, alleged director and officer liability, employment events and alleged errors and omissions)
  • Bodily injury coverage (including claims arising out of alleged asbestos, mold and other latent injuries, workplace injury, product-related injury, injury arising out of catastrophic accidents, worker's compensation, and “additional insured” claims)
  • Environmental liabilities (including cleanups, petroleum contamination, and toxic torts)
  • Health care claims (including physician and nursing home disputes)
  • International insurance claims (including arbitration and other international insurance recovery)

Working closely with our clients, we take pride in developing cost effective strategies to maximize the value and recovery of insurance assets, and in resolving sophisticated insurance claims disputes through a broad range of resolution alternatives, including litigation, arbitration, mediation, and negotiation.
