First-Party Claims — Property Damage, Business Interruption

Orrick's lawyers have represented policyholder clients in scores of first party losses involving virtually every significant issue that may arise in connection with claims under property damage and business interruption policies. We assist in assessing coverage, notifying insurance companies, preparing claim documentation and negotiating with insurance companies. Ordinarily, we attempt to identify and eliminate potential disputes early, and we have resolved many large claims through negotiation. When insurance companies are unwilling to resolve disputes satisfactorily, we litigate them efficiently. We have successfully handled first party appraisals, arbitrations and trials.
