RELATED INDUSTRIES
Insurance and other means of risk transference pervade nearly every aspect of our personal and business lives. We counsel clients in a broad range of coverage issues and assist clients in evaluating and improving their insurance programs. We also regularly guide our clients in navigating the complexities inherent in coverage disputes.
Our coverage work has encompassed a broad spectrum of coverage types, including directors and officers’ liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, professional liability, commercial general liability, excess or umbrella liability, and others. Our clients are individuals, private companies, public corporations, and governmental entities involved in a variety of industries. Insurers have also retained our attorneys to provide representation in litigated disputes. We help all of our clients determine the most effective strategy, whether through alternative dispute resolution, settlement or trial. Our attorneys have litigated in many state and federal trial and appellate courts throughout the country.
Thompson Coburn achieved favorable results for former executives of a bankrupt (employee-owned) company against a fiduciary liability insurer unwilling to assume their defense or indemnification for ERISA claims seeking nearly $200 million. The coverage action involved numerous insurance issues, including material misrepresentation, reformation, insurable loss, and bad acts exclusions.
Thompson Coburn obtained judgment for our insurer client upholding its cancellation of a life insurance policy.
Our client insurers reported data to the Missouri Department of Insurance about their volume of policies issued and their loss experiences in every zip code in Missouri. Thompson Coburn obtained an injunction for our clients prohibiting the Missouri Department of Insurance from disclosing this “zip code data” to the public on the basis that the data were trade secrets.
