A host of issues often arise during the course of your representation that may affect your client’s rights to coverage under an insurance policy, whether you are aware of them or not. How you handle covered and non-covered claims, covered and non-covered damages, apportionment in billing, and settlement contributions, all present serious financial risks to your policyholder client.
