Request InfoWilcox Dunakin Chrisopoulos, LLP devotes a substantial part of our practice to insurance matters, including defending and representing insurance carriers and insureds as coverage counsel in all types of litigation — from complex liability coverage suits to routine coverage matters, subrogation suits, declaratory judgment litigation on the duty to defend, breach of contract and "bad faith" litigation, appeals, and arbitration proceedings.
Our coverage experience encompasses virtually every line of insurance coverage, including standard ISO forms and unique manuscript provisions providing first-party or third-party coverage.
Whether the matter is straightforward or high-stakes, our attorneys bring the same coverage expertise to every forum.
Wilcox Dunakin Chrisopoulos, LLP is panel counsel for insurance carriers and has qualified as independent, or Cumis, counsel under Civil Code § 2860. Our firm routinely works with insurers to defend insureds in civil litigation matters ranging from minor "slip and falls" to catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation.
Our focus is on providing insureds with a full and complete defense, leaving no stone unturned in responding to a claim or complaint.
We pursue early resolution and offers to compromise under Code of Civil Procedure § 998 to avoid scenarios where attorney fee claims and costs control the litigation and prevent resolution.
We obtain the information required to allow for offsets and reduction of personal injury awards in accord with Howell v. Hamilton Meats & Provisions, Inc. (2011) 52 Cal.4th 541.
Allow us to work with you in defending claims, utilizing our experience in working on behalf of insureds and with insurers in handling all aspects of litigation.
