Overview

The complexity and potential long term ramifications arising from insurance coverage litigation not only requires a global understanding of insurance law, but often demands a creative and innovative problem solving approach.

Reminger's insurance coverage group offers a variety of services to our clients when confronted with insurance coverage issues. We offer advice in drafting policy language to effectively address some of the unique nuances of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana law. We also provide counsel in the recognition and resolution of coverage issues, including representation in all types of insurance coverage litigation and the defense of bad faith and other extra contractual claims. Our expertise and experience in insurance coverage matters covers both first party and third party insurance policies, including specialized insurance products issued to either individuals, small businesses or large corporations, and professional entities.

Our firm has the capacity and experience to represent insurance carriers on cutting edge insurance issues. Some recent examples of our representation involve the defense of the application of the intentional act exclusion relative to derivative liability claims, application of the standard and absolute pollution exclusion, determination of the number of occurrences and allocation issues arising from catastrophic losses, and application of notice provisions in both occurrence and claims made policies. We are proud to be involved in the adjudication of important insurance coverage issues in state supreme courts on multiple occasions. 

We have members of the insurance coverage group represented in each of our offices for effective representation on all insurance coverage concerns. Our practice group co-chair currently serves an officer of the EC Defense Network, which was established to provide a nationwide network of attorneys specializing in the defense of insurance companies against bad faith claims.
