Insurance Litigation

Insurance affects many elements of business, business transactions, professional undertakings and personal life. The complex set of contractual and extra-contractual rights and obligations between insured and insurer can give rise to policy interpretation issues, bad faith actions, defence obligations, and coverage problems that make this an extremely litigious sphere of operation. We resolve insurance-related problems for our clients.

The firm has experience in dealing with many types of insurance, including: directors’ and officers’ liability, professional liability, commercial general liability, employment practices liability, environmental liability, excess and umbrella insurance, property and business interruption insurance, marine, cargo, homeowners’ and automobile insurance.

Keyser Mason Ball LLP acts for insurance companies in property claims, subrogation, and in the defence of significant liability claims. We provide services with regard to policy drafting and review, coverage opinions and litigation.

To help policyholders evaluate their current insurance programs and assess coverage for pending or potential claims or to prevent such disputes altogether, we provide ongoing coverage assessment counselling. We assist policyholders on virtually every type of insurance policy with coverage disputes and other claims to maximize and preserve their insurance coverage rights.

Because directors and officers in Canada are exposed to such a broad range of potential sources of liability, we advise individuals, corporations and non-profit organizations with respect to their potential liabilities, and represent them in court or administrative proceedings.

When it comes to insurance disputes, we provide quality, cost-effective legal representation on behalf of our clients in court and through alternative dispute resolution.
