Representing Insurance Companies in Seattle and Tacoma
The experienced Seattle & Tacoma attorneys at the Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess understand that insurance companies sometimes require a qualified legal professional to stand up for the company’s legal rights in court. Insurance defense often requires an aggressive litigation strategy and we always strive for the best possible result for our insurance company clients. However, we also know how to achieve such results in the most cost-effective way possible, and our lawyers will always explore creative options to settle your dispute outside of the courtroom. If your case does go to trial, we will provide a zealous defense on your behalf.
If you are an insurance company that is facing a claim by a policyholder, call one of our offices for assistance in Seattle at (206) 621-1110 or in Tacoma at (253) 572-1000.
Defending against claims by policyholders
Insurance companies may find themselves involved in complicated litigation regarding numerous different issues, including but not limited to the following:
- Auto accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Asbestos and other toxic chemical exposure
- Workplace hazards
- Employment discrimination or wrongful termination
- Professional liability
- Product liability
- Wrongful death
- Class-action lawsuits
Because of the wide range of potential legal issues in insurance defense cases, a qualified attorney should have an expansive knowledge of the laws regarding insurance liability, applicable defense strategies, as well as the specific court procedures for pretrial and trial. At the Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess, we have the experience and skills to handle insurance defense cases arising from a single auto accident or from a large-scale class-action pharmaceutical case.
We understand that going to trial can be expensive and that every company is seeking to protect its bottom line. For this reason, we will explore alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as arbitration or mediation, to try to reach a favorable agreement with your policyholder without the need for a jury trial.
