Insurance

Bowles Rice attorneys have decades of experience in representing insureds and insurers.  We excel in shaping a case for favorable disposition through the most cost-effective means and have secured summary judgments in major coverage litigation.  When necessary, we provide aggressive defense in courtrooms across the nation, and our lawyers have served as lead counsel in numerous precedent setting insurance cases.   

Bowles Rice represents nationally recognized Fortune 500 insurance companies, but also serves the needs of smaller, regional carriers.  We routinely provide advice to insurance companies, agents, brokers, adjusters and other businesses and commercial concerns regarding insurance issues.  We offer a range of legal services to assist insurance professionals, including claims adjuster training, insurance coverage evaluations, pre-suit investigation, litigation/trial defense services and post-trial/appellate advocacy.

We have tried hundreds of cases to jury verdict, including those involving automobile, premise, business, casualty and property.  We regularly review claims to evaluate liability and exposure, and analyze coverage issues in the resolution of claims.
