Orinda, California, Insurance Coverage Attorney
Insurance companies work hard to limit their exposure by the manner in which they draft an insurance policy. What appears to be covered in one section of the policy is often limited or taken away in another.
Businesses often do not possess the time or resources to fully pursue their insurance rights. The language of their contracts and insurance policies frequently appear confusing if not inconsistent. More often than not, individuals and businesses fail to identify applicable indemnity and third party coverage through which they might be protected.
The Law Office of Ira James Harris offers experienced indemnity and general liability insurance services. Attorney Ira James Harris has resolved multiple-party and multiple-insurer disputes since 1981.
Experienced General Liability Insurance Coverage and Indemnity Lawyer.
If you are confronted with a claim involving a negligent act or omission of a director or officer of a corporation or a question regarding your indemnity or commercial general liability insurance rights, we can provide counsel and representation. If you are involved in construction or leasing, we can resolve disputes with contractors and insurers.
When a developer or general contractor is sued for construction defects, subcontractors and their insurers often have a duty to defend and indemnify you. We are experienced in identifying defense, indemnity and alternative insurance resources thereby sparing your firm the need to use its own resources.
We are also experienced in ensuring that insurers honor their policies. Ira James Harris has secured a defense and indemnity for his clients in many different situations. In a recent case, a client was building a structure where the county building requirements mandated a certain roofing design. The furniture, fixtures and equipment could not be installed in the building with the roof in place. Unseasonably heavy rain damaged the interior improvements before the roof could be completed. The insurer denied coverage citing the "Hole in the Roof" exclusion. We evaluated the insurance coverage and made sure the lessee and its insurer provided full and timely indemnification.
