Insurance Defense in Indiana refers to the legal representation of insurance companies and their policyholders in claims brought against them. These claims often arise from personal injury, property damage, professional liability, or other insured events. When a policyholder is sued, the insurance company typically provides a defense under the terms of the policy. Our firm steps in to defend the insured’s interests, working closely with the insurance carrier to evaluate claims, assess liability, and develop a strategy for resolution—whether through negotiation, arbitration, or trial.
Indiana’s legal landscape presents unique considerations for insurance defense attorneys. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning a claimant’s compensation may be reduced based on their percentage of fault, and they are barred from recovery if they are more than 50% at fault. This standard plays a crucial role in how we evaluate liability and potential exposure in each case. Our firm is well-versed in the Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure and maintains strong relationships with courts throughout the state, which helps us effectively navigate the litigation process from initial pleadings through final resolution.
We represent insurers and their policyholders in a variety of claims, including auto accidents, premises liability (slip and falls), construction defects, product liability, and professional malpractice. Our goal is always to provide a cost-effective, results-driven defense while maintaining open lines of communication with both the insurer and the insured. Whether we’re handling pre-litigation investigations, responding to demand letters, or representing clients in court, our firm brings the experience and local knowledge needed to protect our clients’ legal and financial interests.
