BANNING MICKLOW & BULL LLP

Excellence    -    Integrity    -    Dedication     -    Results

     Our partners have over 50 years of collective experience representing many of the major domestic and foreign insurers, including underwriters at Lloyd’s of London, many P&I Clubs and insurers at the Institute of London Underwriters.  We have also represented many of the largest insurance companies in Scandinavia, the European continent and Asia.  We have defended and prosecuted many multimillion dollar “bad faith” litigations involving various kinds of commercial and personal lines insurance policies.  Since we began focusing primarily on plaintiff-side work, we have successfully prosecuted “bad faith” coverage actions on behalf of individuals as well as corporate insureds.  See some of our clients’ seven figure recoveries in Recent Results. 

     Our work is both domestic and international.  We have represented and sued overseas insurance companies and we often work directly with foreign or out-of-state attorneys, investigators and experts.  Many of the firm’s cases involve complicated choice of law issues created by the terms of the insurance policies or the foreign residences of the defendant insurers.

     We have years of experience analyzing personal lines insurance policies such as life, health, disability, homeowners, automobile and umbrella policies.  Our commercial lines insurance experience is second to none. We can handle disputes involving commercial liability, contractors, builders risk, shiprepairers legal liability, and marine and aviation coverages of all kinds.  Although we no longer represent insurance companies (except in the subrogation context), we are prepared to represent all other types of plaintiffs in insurance coverage and “bad faith” litigation. 

     We know how to litigate insurance disputes, whether we are prosecuting a tort claim for “bad faith” on behalf of an injured family or on behalf of a respectable business which has paid substantial premiums and been abandoned  by its insurance company.  And our expertise in insurance guarantees that you will have the best attorneys available when it comes to negotiating with or trying your case against the insurance companies on the other side of your dispute.  If you were charged with a crime you would want to hire a former prosecutor to defend you.  If you want to sue an insurance company you would want to hire us because of our background as former insurance counsel.  Contact Us for a free and confidential consultation .
