What does an insurance lawyer do?
Insurance lawyers handle coverage disputes and claims, acting for policyholders whose claims were denied or for insurers defending a claim, across property, liability, life, and disability coverage.
Insurance is regulated province by province, so policy interpretation and the deadlines to challenge a denial depend on where you are.
Ask whether the firm acts for policyholders or insurers, its experience with your type of policy, and how it'll approach a denied claim before it heads to litigation. You can confirm any lawyer's standing with the law society in your province before you retain them.
