First Party Property
The property interests of a business or individual are among their most valuable, and yet, those interests are constantly at risk from various hazards, including weather, accidents and mischief.
First-party claims
When such a loss occurs, policyholders turn quickly to their first-party property policy to respond. Our lawyers are called upon by our insurer clients to assume various roles in such first-party claims – from spearheading a claim investigation to defending the insurer’s coverage position in litigation or on appeal – and everything in between.
First-party property claims can be wide ranging, and our lawyers have experience advising clients on the whole spectrum, including but not limited to:
- Arson and fire claims
- Business interruption
- Cyber claims
- Dishonest acts
- Embezzlement
- Hail
- Hurricane
- Flood
- Water and mold damage
- Vandalism and theft
Experience

Represented numerous Lloyd’s syndicates and domestic insurers in complex first-party property matters involving school districts and municipalities in Texas and Florida.
