Insurance Litigation

Figari & Davenport has established itself as an industry-wide leader in complex insurance litigation. Our lawyers have represented insurance companies and third-party administrators in state and federal courts in Texas and other states, including class action and multi-district litigation, as well as before arbitration panels and state insurance department tribunals. We have extensive knowledge and experience litigating life, health, and disability matters. Over the past 20 years, we have successfully handled cases involving, among other things: claim disputes; coverage issues; ERISA; rescissions; overpayment and subrogation claims; premium and commission disputes; stop loss, reinsurance and agent contracts; regulatory and compliance matters; network provider agreements; and prompt pay and clean claim statutes. We also have defended numerous insurance clients in class action cases involving policyholder, agent commission, premium calculation, claims handling, ERISA, annuity, association, and regulatory disputes.

Our lawyers also have extensive experience representing and counseling title insurance companies, and their insureds, on a wide range of issues. These include both coverage disputes and title curative action. For example, the firm has handled a number of cases in the developing area of Texas home equity lending. In addition, we are called on frequently to represent title insurers and title agents in cases involving allegations of mortgage loan fraud. In all areas of our insurance practice, the firm’s services also include pre-litigation counseling on a variety of issues, as well as providing seminars to our clients and industry groups on emerging topics.
