Insurance Litigation

LA Insurance Litigation Trial Attorneys

Being skilled in analyzing policies helps us hold insurance companies accountable when they unfairly deny claims. At the Law Office of Thomas K. Bourke in Los Angeles, we represent clients who have put their hard-earned money into insurance policies, including directors' and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Purchasing an insurance policy is an investment that should protect you, not cause further stress or financial harm. Insurance companies must live up to the contracts they sign with their clients. We have experience in duty-to-defend litigation, including in regard to D&O policies.

Knowledgeable and Experienced Lawyers Handling Bad-Faith and Duty-to-Defend Insurance Litigation

Our knowledge of insurance litigation helps clients identify if they have a valid claim. Many times, they come to see us and are not aware that they have a case. A certain exclusion that the insurance company is using against them may not be obvious, conspicuous, or even understandable. We help them understand policy terms, and when appropriate, aggressively pursue action against the insurance company.

One of the most important purposes an insurance company can serve is to defend you from claims. We have extensive experience in duty-to-defend cases and in representing corporate officers and directors through their cooperation with or, when necessary, litigation against their D&O insurers.

At the Law Office of Thomas K. Bourke, we see insurance companies deny legitimate claims all too often. Collecting your money while refusing to reimburse you for something that is covered in your policy represents a poor business practice. Many actions by insurance companies rise to the level of bad-faith practices and breach of their fiduciary duty to their customers — customers they aggressively pursued in selling a policy.

Resolving Your Bad-Faith Insurance Case through Mediation

Insurance litigation over claim denials or bad faith is a common way to resolve cases, but we are well aware that while our clients have an immediate need to resolve their cases, there are also financial restrictions. We pride ourselves on efficient, cost-effective representation. That can involve the process of mediation and arbitration to settle your matter. Settling your case and staying out of the courtroom can save you time and money. It also allows you to move on with your life and secure the money from your insurance company that you deserve.
