Insurance Defense and Insurance Coverage FAQ
We often receive questions like these from our prospective clients. While the answers are correct at the time of writing, we cannot guarantee real-time updates to any changes in the law. This should not be construed as legal advice of any kind. If you have further questions, you should consult an insurance attorney.
If I have insurance, who will pick my lawyer? And does that lawyer represent my company or me?
Generally speaking, your insurance company will select the lawyer that represents you and defend you against the suit brought against you. The attorney represents the insured party.
What are my obligations as an insured party?
Your obligations are to cooperate with your attorney and your insurance company. Please provide your attorney with all of the information they need, work with them to prepare your deposition, and – if necessary – prepare for and appear at your trial.
