Practice/Industry Group Overview
Adams and Reese has a reputation for providing quality litigation services that can be traced to its origin as an insurance defense firm. Many of the firm's most experienced trial lawyers still handle casualty and insurance cases. Today, we act as strategic advisors to our clients in order to avoid litigation, where possible, implement alternative dispute measures when feasible, settle cases upon economic ground, if appropriate and mount a vigorous defense where required.
The quality of our work results from a simple habit. We start by listening to our clients, and we formulate our dispute strategy from their feedback. We determine the value of each piece of litigation and assess its significance in the overall scheme of the client's business. We then determine how best to cost-effectively staff the matter and what role technology will play in helping us achieve the best results possible. This commitment has built a strong and lasting relationship between Adams and Reese and our clients.
The members of the Casualty and Coverage Team practice in all areas of casualty, workers' compensation and insurance. Our business is both insurer-driven, i.e., cases assigned by an insurer, adjusting firm or TPA, or insured-directed, i.e., cases assigned by an insured with a self-insured retention or with the right to select counsel. Adams and Reese's Casualty and Coverage Team has significant expertise in pursuing insurance coverage for corporations against their insurance companies. From the date of your loss and through the entire litigation process, we will assist you in securing the appropriate benefits under the terms of your insurance policy. Our practice encompasses all areas of Casualty Claims defense as well as issues involving coverage.
