Insurance Litigation

Los Angeles Trial Lawyer for Insurance Litigation

Offsetting risk through insurance is essential in today's complex world. However, just as insurance companies rely on receiving our premiums so they can cover claims and operate profitably, when we need to file claims, we expect to receive the benefits we have paid for.

Unfortunately, many businesses and individuals face hassles when they file claims. We all understand that insurance companies are in business to make money, but sometimes the tactics they use cross the line.

When a company is sued by a third party, the urgency and risk create a volatile situation. Should your liability insurer deny your claim for defense representation, you may be compelled to settle a lawsuit you could have won. When making a personal injury claim, you may feel coerced by financial pressures to settle quickly and for less than you might be entitled to. Adjusters may hide behind complex and confusing policy language to justify the denial of your valid claim.

I'm Erik Syverson, an experienced attorney handling insurance litigation for policyholders throughout Southern California. I know insurance law and how to effectively fight back against big insurers who unfairly delay or deny legitimate claims. Contact my law office in Los Angeles law office to discuss your legal options.

Representing Your Interests, Protecting Your Rights

Insurance policies can be complex to interpret. Seeing your claim through to payment can be an even more convoluted, intimidating and frustrating process. People and organizations that pursue their claims alone often get low-balled by aggressive adjusters. Trying to fight a claim denial without help from a skilled lawyer can pose the risk of losing even more than you already have.

As your legal advocate, I can help ensure that you recover the full amount of compensation you are entitled to receive from your insurer:

  • I know how to properly value claims, including personal injury, property and financial losses — even damage to your personal or professional reputation
  • I understand the state and federal insurance laws governing the insurance industry that cover business insurance claims and personal claims
  • I will manage your claim through focused negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation of claim disputes. In cases of great urgency such a denial of defense representation, I can seek an expedited declaratory judgment to ensure your insurance company pays for your legal expenses.

Seeking Full Coverage for All Related Business Expenses and Losses

I am a business owner as well as an experienced business law attorney, so I understand the costs and benefits of pursuing insurance litigation. I will develop a strategy carefully structured to accomplish your firm's objectives in a cost-effective manner.

An experienced trial lawyer myself, I team with a group of highly experienced attorneys, which gives me the capacity and resources to handle conventional two-party cases or complex multi-party disputes.
