The Watkins Firm has extensive and proven legal skill across decades serving as an experienced San Diego attorney for insurance disputes and lawsuits. If you have been named as a party in an insurance-related lawsuit or you have concerns or a dispute regarding coverage under your policy it is important to contact the Watkins Firm for a free consultation at 858-535-1511. You have important legal rights in the state of California and insurance companies often initially decline claims which should be covered under their own policies.
Why do you need your own attorney in an insurance dispute? It may surprise you to learn the attorneys for your insurance company owe their primary legal allegiance to the insurance policy, not you personally. This creates a legal conflict of interest, because they are obligated to throw you under the proverbial bus if it will protect the interests of the insurance policy.
California is a leader in protecting our citizens from this conflict of interest. California enacted laws that ensure that you, as an insurance policy holder who has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit based upon that insurance, have the legal right to your own independent or cumis counsel. Your insurance policy is supposed to protect you in these cases, and therefore your insurance company must pay the bill for our representation.
In many cases it is a question of whether or not the policy itself covers the damages associated with a claim.
The next question is “what should you look for in an experienced San Diego attorney for insurance disputes and lawsuits to ensure your interests are protected?” The short answer is extensive litigation expertise and attorneys with experience in insurance bad faith. Your own insurance company may be acting in a way that is not in your best interests. Have you received a Reservation of Rights letter from your insurance company? They may be establishing the basis for denying you coverage now or in the future. You can draw upon our decades of experience and legal skill as well as our proven results in insurance bad faith issues. We hold your insurance company to the highest legal standard, and protect your business or personal legal and financial position in all settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration or trial.
