Description

One of Denenberg Tuffley's largest areas of practice is subrogation. Its attorneys have litigated and tried countless subrogation cases throughout the United States and around the world. Denenberg Tuffley's belief is that in order to be successful with a subrogation action, it is critical the firm be available to get actively involved at a loss site at an early stage, often times while the fire (or other event) is still occurring. Consequently, the firm's attorneys are available 24 hours a day to travel to a loss site, obtaining and preserving valuable evidence and information. Moreover, the firm has a national network of experts in a wide array of fields. This permits the firm to contact an appropriate expert shortly after receiving notice of a loss, resulting in an expert visiting a site on the same day as the loss, or shortly thereafter. Denenberg Tuffley's proactive approach to handling subrogation claims, coupled with the experience of its attorneys (several of whom were previously involved in such complex subrogation cases as the Kansas City Americold fire and the Rouge Powerhouse explosion in Michigan), has resulted in significantly better recoveries for its clients. (Top of Page) Liability Insurance Coverage Denenberg Tuffley's attorneys have extensive experience representing liability insurance carriers regarding coverage issues, both in Michigan and in other states. Whether in the context of a lawsuit brought by the insured, or via a declaratory judgment action brought on behalf of the insurer, the firm's attorneys regularly analyze and/or litigate liability coverage issues such as whether there has been an "occurrence," whether bodily injury or property damage was expected/intended by the insured, and whether a particular person is indeed an insured party under a liability insurance policy. Moreover, because of the breadth of their experience in both residential and commercial coverage matters, the firm's attorneys have addressed more uncommon or esoteric coverage issues. These include the applicability of both limited and absolute pollution exclusions in a variety of contexts, "drop down" issues regarding excess liability carriers (where the primary insurer is either insolvent or has exhausted its policy limits), "other insurance" issues involving multiple liability carriers on a risk, and various unique conditions and exclusions pertaining to personal and advertising liability coverage. In short, Denenberg Tuffley is able to assist its insurer clients in analyzing and confronting a myriad of liability coverage issues. Due to the firm's attorneys' background in this area, Denenberg Tuffley regularly provides liability insurance carriers with coverage opinions, and subsequent representation in litigation as required, in a variety of situations. These have included residential matters, environmental contamination cases, various employment-related disputes, and the Dow Corning breast implant liability insurance coverage litigation.
