Property Insurance Litigator's Handbook 3rd Edition Andrew B Downs ISBN 9781641058810

Property insurance disputes often draw public attention in the wake of catastrophic events, when communities, businesses, and individuals look to rebuild. Insurance plays a critical role in managing risk and supporting recovery. Yet, for sound business and public policy reasons, not all losses are covered under property insurance policies. When policyholders believe a loss falls within coverage and insurers disagree, those disputes frequently lead to litigation.

The third edition of Property Insurance Litigator’s Handbook concentrates on the core principles and practical realities of litigating first-party property insurance claims. It opens with an overview of property insurance and the key events that typically occur during the claims process before a matter reaches litigation. The book then walks readers through each stage of a lawsuit, including drafting complaints, preparing answers and affirmative defenses, conducting discovery, pursuing or opposing summary disposition, and getting ready for trial. It concludes with guidance on trial strategy and appeals.

Throughout the handbook, practitioners will find practical checklists, sample forms, letters, pleadings, and other useful practice tools. This fully updated edition includes revised tables of authorities and expanded practice aids, making it an essential resource for experienced litigators entering the first-party property arena as well as associates beginning their work in property insurance litigation.
