Tort & Insurance Defense

Businesses and individuals may, at some point, find themselves subject to a civil lawsuit. Often, the claims brought against them for alleged damages or injuries are covered by some form of insurance.

We have extensive experience representing insurance companies, businesses, and individuals in a wide variety of tort cases. These clients range from national and local corporations to the transportation industry, retail industry, governmental entities, and insurers.

Types of cases include:

• Insurance defense and coverage issues, including catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death
• Premises liability
• Product liability
• Trucking defense
• Construction defects
• Defamation
• Nuisance
• Professional malpractice
• Business and consumer fraud
• Constitutional rights

We regularly appear on behalf of clients in North Carolina state and federal trial and appellate courts, and have tried cases in all three districts of federal court in North Carolina and in more than half of the 100 counties in the North Carolina state court system. We regularly appear before the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the North Carolina Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. We are experienced in the utilization of all forms of alternative dispute resolution, ranging from arbitration to mediation.
