Champions of Justice: Fighting Insurance Bad Faith
Since the founding of our law firm in 1965, we have always been on the side of plaintiffs, people who have been harmed by the actions or negligence of others. Our attorneys don't represent corporations in these cases — and that includes never representing insurance companies.
For more than 40 years, we have dealt with insurance companies, seeking fair and just compensation for our clients. In the early years of our practice, it was unusual for an insurance company to deny its obligations to a policyholder. In recent years, however, insurance companies use delay and denial to limit their payouts and to maximize their profits.
Rely on Girardi | Keese to fight for what is right.
It is wrong to deny or delay promised coverage. We earned our reputation as champions of justice by righting the wrongs clients brings to us. Fighting back against insurance bad faith takes financial resources and a team of dedicated attorneys.
- Experienced trial lawyers: At Girardi | Keese, trial experience is essential. We have lawyers on staff who have tried more than 100 cases. Eleven of our lawyers have earned membership in ABOTA — American Board of Trial Advocates, an organization dedicated to the preservation of a person's right to a jury trial in civil matters.
- Extensive claim litigation experience: Our law firm is small enough so that every lawyer has the benefit of our collective experience. Our attorneys discuss all of our cases with each other, share ideas about litigation and make ourselves available as resources to all lawyers in the firm.
- Knowledgeable expert witnesses: The more complex a case is, the more important it is to have expert witnesses. Over the years, we have built a wide-ranging network of the best experts in their fields. In insurance bad faith cases, we come to court armed with expert opinion.
- Lawyer referrals: Most of our work at Girardi | Keese comes from lawyer referrals. When another attorney refers a case to us, we make that attorney an integral part of the litigation team.
We welcome calls from other lawyers and from potential clients who are dealing with insurance bad faith. Contact us for a consultation. We represent clients throughout California.
