Evaluating and Litigating Insurance Coverage: An Introduction

Why Attend?

• Learn the different kinds of policies and who is covered
• Gain an understanding of how claims are covered or denied
• Examine procedural remedies to obtain or deny coverage

Lawsuits often stand or fall based on whether there is insurance coverage. This one-hour presentation will orient those new to the field to the various types of insurance, the parts of an insurance policy, how coverage is extended or disclaimed, typical coverage issues, and the various types of litigation that might result. 

Our speaker, Dan Schiavetta, will discuss real policies, along with examples from cases he has litigated. Insurance coverage is mostly a state law matter, but he will emphasize elements and practices common to all states, with special references to Virginia law.
