Insurance Recovery Resources
Insurance company promises to policyholders are reflected in public and internal insurance industry documents. For almost 40 years, Anderson Kill has devoted substantial firm resources to collecting those public and private documents -- including drafting history, regulatory history, briefs and depositions. We use this powerful ammunition for the benefit of policyholder clients. This computerized data bank has proved dispositive in many cases.
We have briefed most insurance coverage issues in almost every jurisdiction in this country. Those briefs also are maintained on computer databases. The system allows automated retrieval of documents with great speed and efficiency, and the library and databases are linked to optically stored collections of documents. This unique resource for policyholder clients enables the firm to more effectively brief issues and engage in discovery against major insurance company adversaries. When it comes time to litigate, we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
