Ruberry, Stalmack & Garvey, LLC is one of the nation's
leading "go to" law firms for providing insurance coverage opinions
and recommendations to insurers in complex disputes. We provide our
clients with dependable analysis and leading case coordination. We
also serve as national or lead counsel in insurance coverage
matters across the United States, involving both primary and excess
policies.
Analysis and opinion by outside counsel often precedes coverage
litigation. RSG has assisted insurance company clients through
research of pending claims, and provided thorough, thoughtful,
defendable analysis and recommendations. Frequently, our analysis
and recommendations address cutting-edge and unsettled legal
issues.
We are sensitive to the time constraints inherent in this work,
and respond accordingly to such assignments, supplementing
necessary new research with reliance upon internal resources that
we have collected and developed through our many years of coverage
experience.
Our reporting system allows us to prove status and strategy
reports with the regularity and frequency preferred by each client.
We recognize the importance of keeping our clients advised of
important matters as they arise and of collaborating with our
clients on strategy in a timely manner.
As a national or lead counsel, we are responsible for day-to-day
management and handling of large, complex litigations. In
conjunction with the client, we plan and prepare case strategy
conduct and respond to discovery, draft all pleadings and briefs,
conduct site and other case investigations, present oral argument
at hearings, participate in settlement negotiations and if
settlement efforts prove unavailing, try the case to successful
conclusion.
We are experienced in evaluating bad faith and extra-contractual
liability claims asserted against insurers. We represent insurers
in trials and appeals of bad faith actions involving allegations of
inadequate investigation; unreasonable failure to defend or
indemnify; unfair or improper claims handling; and unfair
settlement practices or failure to settle. RSG lawyers have been
successful in defeating such claims and in limiting recovery of
damages, including punitive damages and attorney fees.
