Overview
Carlton Fields provides coverage and claims counseling, litigation, and arbitration in matters involving all types of property and casualty insurance. In addition, we defend individuals and entities that are insured by our clients under a wide range of policies. We also provide services related to issues such as claims and underwriting practices, regulatory and transactional matters, administrative and regulatory litigation, and reinsurance. Our coverage work includes bad faith litigation, directors and officers liability, commercial general liability, first-party property, excess and umbrella, environmental, fidelity, commercial crime, and financial institution bonds, construction and surety matters, representations and warranties insurance, cyber and data privacy coverage, and other specialty lines.
We defend our insurance clients by taking high-risk matters from pre-litigation counseling through appeal. Our work includes class actions, multidistrict litigation, and adversary proceedings in bankruptcy, along with claims under the TCPA and data privacy statutes, and securities fraud, employment, and ERISA claims against insured officers and directors.
We also handle national and state class actions arising from claims and underwriting practices, including disputes over electronic systems and databases used to process automobile, homeowners, and workers' compensation claims, premium reporting tied to residual market obligations, the use of consumer credit information, medical records handling in workers' compensation claims, and preferred provider arrangements. We also represent insurers in administrative and regulatory litigation before departments of insurance in the United States and abroad, and our reinsurance practice represents cedents and reinsurers in litigation, arbitration, and transactional matters.
