OUR PROPERTY INSURANCE LAWYERS SERVICES

DSF property insurance lawyers offer a wide range of representation and counsel options for all your commercial property insurance concerns, including:

Determining Value of a Property Insurance Claim: Disagreements between an insurance company and a policyholder regarding the value of a claim is one of the most common property insurance concerns. Our experienced team can provide advice and assistance in presenting and responding to issues related to the value of a claim. These include concerns related to what evidence is necessary, how it should be presented, and what other options are available, including the availability of statutory appraisal.

Claim Coverage: DSF offers comprehensive representation services for both policyholders and insurance companies. We can assist in determining whether a particular claim is covered under the contract and also handle litigation if the claim is denied and further action is warranted.

Misrepresentation and Changes in Risk: When a policyholder misrepresents themselves or their property to obtain a policy or if certain risk factors change once a policy is in place, disagreements and the potential for a voided contract can occur. At DSF, we are well versed in misrepresentation and changes in risk. We can help provide counsel and professional advice to both insurance companies and policyholders on what to do when these events occur.
