Insurance Coverage - Policyholders


Covington has helped policyholders recover hundreds of millions of dollars of first-party insurance coverage for terrorism-related losses through litigation and settlement.  Our experienced coverage lawyers have crafted creative approaches to resolving insurance disputes, often without the need for litigation, and have substantial experience resolving business interruption, contingent business interruption, extra expense, property damage, interdependency and loss mitigation claims.  Covington lawyers have worked on every facet of such claims.  We have advised senior management about how to effectively - and quickly - realize insurance recoveries necessary for rebuilding, consulted with adjustors and accountants about how to maximize insurance recoveries, and worked in the trenches with employees advising them on how to prepare individual claim submissions.
