Insurance Defense Attorneys

Washington, D.C. • Annapolis • Baltimore • Northern Virginia

The insurance defense lawyers at McNamee Hosea have worked hard to cultivate a reputation within regional and national legal circles as effective, efficient, and aggressive litigators of disputes relating to property, title, and auto insurance.

Many of our clients are insurance companies that look to us for our demonstrated excellence in devising trial strategies. Our lawyers are equally proficient when it comes to advising clients on how to sidestep claim practices or situations that could result in litigation. We also manage necessary tasks like evaluating claims and providing timely input to encourage out-of-court settlements.

Communication Is the Key

We have a deep appreciation for the various concerns of our clients, whether they are an insurer, a self-insured company, or a policy holding individual. We take all critical steps to fully communicate with our clients and properly pinpoint the most effective strategies for handling their claims. We believe in working not just for you, but with you. Our attorneys will always collaborate with you on all relevant issues and keep you apprised of the status of your claims.

We work diligently to resolve claims and coverage concerns in areas such as:

• Bad faith claims
• Excess and surplus lines
• General negligence
• SIR disputes
• Property and casualty insurance reinsurance matters

The insurance law professionals at McNamee Hosea are skilled at handling tort litigation for insurers and self-insured corporate customers, including:

• Automobile liability
• Comprehensive general liability
• Officers and directors liability
• Municipal liability
• Transportation
• Environmental claims and coverage
• Securities litigation
• Life, health, and accident coverage
• Fire insurance
• Extended coverage
• Homeowners policies

Our attorneys' steadfast belief in the concept of "preventive practice" leads them to strategies to reduce claim exposure. We identify and seek to remedy areas of potential conflict before problems arise: problems that might otherwise result in litigation.

A Track Record of Success

McNamee Hosea lawyers engage in all phases of trial and appellate practice at both federal and state levels. Our advocacy for established companies has allowed us to gain experience in a wide variety of claims. Thanks to our effective management of unique, complicated multi-party cases, and our ability to litigate those cases to successful verdicts, we have earned our standing as one of the top litigation firms in our region.

Our attorneys also offer assistance with drafting specialized policy language, guidelines, and claims-handling materials.

Metro areas. While we take additional pride in our talent for avoiding expensive, sometimes unnecessary litigation through the optional use of arbitration, our highly rated lawyers are poised to energetically, passionately defend our clients in court against baseless claims.
