Parker Hudson represents insurance policyholders after their carrier has denied coverage, or in the course of a dispute with an insurance provider regarding the scope of coverage.
Clients come to us because we have a long record of achieving successful outcomes after an initial denial of coverage.
We also provide aggressive representation in disputes with insurance companies, such as when the carrier disputes the reasonable interpretation of policy language, issues a reservation of rights letter, or insists on an unreasonably low offer of settlement.
