The Law Offices of Alan Belcher can also help professionals in business and in the construction industry better understand the insurance coverage provided to them during the insurance application process. Many times, businesses and construction professionals purchase an insurance policy and assume that they are covered for any and all losses. It is possible in construction defect cases, however, that they will find themselves in the thick of litigation without the proper insurance coverage or with a defense under a "reservation of rights." In business litigation, a business may find that an exclusion applies to the conduct alleged in the lawsuit. It is far better to understand the coverage provided under the various types of available policies on the front end and to work with your insurance professional to develop the precise type of coverage your business needs.
