Insurance defense has been central to Foster Swift for decades. Our insurance defense attorneys gain valuable perspective from other lawyers in the firm practicing in other areas such as business, tax, real estate, environmental, probate and family law.
The types of complex cases we handle regularly include:
- First-party, No-Fault
- Third party, No-Fault
- Premises liability
- Complex insurance coverage litigation, including pollution remediation claims, asbestos claims, toxic tort claims and product liability claims
Foster Swift has an impressive track record in defending our clients in Michigan’s state and federal courts as well as before administrative agencies and other tribunals. Furthermore, if an appeal is necessary, our appellate attorneys are experienced in briefing and presenting our client’s case.
