Insurance Defense
Insurance Defense
The two principal protections provided to the insured in an automobile insurance contract are coverage up to the limits of the insurance policy and a defense in the event that a lawsuit is filed against the insured, arising out of the insured’s operation of a motor vehicle.
When a person claims personal injury or property damage as a result of a car accident, that person will typically make a claim against the insurance policy of the person who allegedly caused the accident.
If the claim cannot be settled with the insurance company, then the person claiming personal injury or property damage will usually file a lawsuit against the person who is alleged to have caused the accident.
When the lawsuit is filed, the insurance company of the person sued has a duty to provide a defense, which includes the retention of a lawyer to represent the sued person.
