Fraud/EUOs (Examinations Under Oath)
Kelley Kronenberg partners with insurance clients to identify and defend fraudulent claims. We work closely with claim handlers and special investigations unit (SIU) departments, conduct comprehensive examinations under oath (EUO), and thoroughly investigate suspicious claims to determine whether a matter should be paid or a fraud denial is appropriate. While litigating claims, we are skilled at identifying fraud and obtaining dismissals with prejudice due to fraud on the court. Additionally, our attorneys routinely lecture and provide continuing education courses to their insured clients on topics related to fraudulent claims and litigation strategies. Whether the entire claim or a portion of the claim, fraud and misrepresentations negatively impact the industry. With our experience team we can identify and defend these instances with the goal of deterring this behavior moving forward.
Pre-Suit Coverage Investigation
Kelley Kronenberg provides advice and representation for its insurance carriers in complex matters related to insurance coverage disputes including policy interpretation, coverage forfeitures, applying policy limitations and exclusions. Our attorneys are experienced in providing coverage opinions, encompassing risk analysis and best mitigation practices to reduce claim risk moving forward.
Bad Faith
Kelley Kronenberg is experienced in assisting insurance carriers in navigating through the claims environment. Not only can our bad faith team advise you on claims decisions, but we can evaluate how those decisions will affect potential bad faith litigation, including risk reduction. Our team has represented insurers in trial, arbitration, and mediation throughout Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas and have consulted, litigated, and tried bad faith claims arising from a wide variety of insurance products. Not only do we provide immediate risk analysis, but we provide key phased approaches to bad faith litigation to reduce unnecessary areas of inquiry and limit the matters of dispute, both of which reduce business interruption.
