Charleston Insurance Defense Attorney
As a self-insured company or insurance company, you know how important it is to your company’s success to be able to reduce costs wherever possible.
One way you can achieve this is by putting up a strong defense when customers, workers, clients, or others file claims against you. However, some tactics used may be misconstrued as bad faith insurance practices, which can have the ill-intended effect of exposure to additional liability.
Each Charleston insurance defense lawyer in our office is thoroughly experienced in helping corporate clients like you navigate the legal process while keeping your best interests in mind. Let’s talk about any pending insurance claims that you’re currently dealing with that you’d like to see resolved in your favor.

What You Can Expect from an Insurance Law Attorney
As a self-insured company or insurer, we can certainly understand your desire to gain a better perspective on how we might support you at different stages as we work together.
During our initial consultation, we’ll begin carefully assessing the claim or lawsuit filed against you, or any other dispute you’re in the midst of, to sort out the legal grounds on which both you and the plaintiff stand.
This is necessary to determine what resolution options might be available to you per West Virginia law.
And, while we certainly try to resolve matters outside of court to keep legal fees down, we are wholly committed to taking your case to trial if that’s in your best interest.
