Our Practice Areas
Appellate
We identify potential appellate issues as a case progresses and take the steps to preserve our client’s rights for appeal. We provide effective written and oral advocacy throughout the appellate process.
Insurance Coverage
We analyze and investigate whether coverage may apply under a variety of policies, including automobile, homeowners, and commercial. We possess the expertise to litigate coverage disputes and stay abreast on developments in the law that may affect policy interpretation and enforcement of policy provisions.
Personal Injury and Property Damage
We routinely defend personal injury claims involving car accidents, bicycle accidents, trucking accidents, and dog bites, among others. We work with our clients to understand the process and to achieve favorable outcomes.
Property Damage
We handle cases involving fires and water damage. Early in the case, we identify qualified experts to assist with the investigation and to provide knowledge insight to defend the claim.
Premises Liability
We defend cases involving slip and falls and trip and falls at private residences or public places. We work closely with our clients to identify the owner and occupier of the land and/or any third party who may have some involvement with the land to identify what legal duty may apply.
Wrongful Death
We understand Wisconsin’s intricate wrongful death statute. Our experience helps us navigate these complex cases to identify who may bring a claim and what damages an individual may pursue.
Product Liability
We assist clients in understanding their exposures and defenses under Wisconsin’s product liability statute. Often times, involvement during the claims stage will result in the identification of the proper experts to support the defense of a client who may be a manufacturer, seller, or distributor.
Construction Defects
We defend construction companies and subcontractors in construction disputes. We identify the cause of the defect as early as possible, determine a cost-effective approach to defending the claim, and work with our clients to develop creative solutions.
First Party Claims
We represent insurance companies relative to extra-contractual and bad faith claims.
