Insurance Defense

Carrier-side defense and coverage analysis with reporting discipline built in.

Insurance defense is at the core of the firm. Rai Fink Ebner serves as defense and monitoring counsel for carriers, self-insureds and their insureds, handling assigned litigation and coverage questions with the reporting discipline and cost control that claims professionals expect.

Matters We Handle

  • Assigned defense of first- and third-party claims
  • Coverage analysis, reservation-of-rights and declaratory relief
  • Bad-faith and extra-contractual exposure
  • Additional-insured, tender and priority-of-coverage disputes
  • Excess- and self-insured-retention matters
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims
  • Litigation-management and budget reporting

Our Approach

We staff assigned files leanly, report early and clearly, and match the defense to the exposure, resolving what should be resolved and trying what should be tried. Coverage and liability are evaluated together, so carriers get one coordinated view of the risk.

Who We Represent

We are retained by admitted and surplus-lines carriers, third-party administrators, self-insured entities and their insureds.

The firm provides insurance-defense and coverage counsel throughout Arizona, California and Nevada.

New assignments, tenders and referrals are always welcome. WE’d be glad to talk it through.
