Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation

The insurance practice group of Martin, Disiere, Jefferson & Wisdom L.L.P. is one of the premiere insurance coverage and bad faith litigation firms in Texas. Our lawyers literally “wrote the book” on Texas insurance litigation. Repeatedly over the past decade, the lawyers with our firm helped shape important aspects of Texas insurance law. Do not just take our word for it – for the past five years Chambers USA: America’s Leading Business Lawyers ranked our firm the top insurance litigation firm in Texas. Similar accolades have been given to our Insurance Practice Group by: Best Lawyers; LGM’s Guide to the World’s Leading Insurance and Reinsurance Lawyers; and Texas Monthly Magazine’s “Super Lawyers” survey.

We are trial lawyers known for our ability to win coverage and bad faith cases in Texas and other jurisdictions. From the claim stage to an appeal, we have the expertise the insurance industry repeatedly turns to for assistance. At the claims stage, we provide our clients with objective interpretations of a wide variety of insurance contracts. When disputes arise, we provide creative advice on the rights and obligations of the parties to an insurance contract. In litigation, we routinely prosecute and defend coverage lawsuits across Texas and in other jurisdictions as well.

When our clients are alleged to have committed bad faith, Insurance Code violations, deceptive trade practices, violations of the Stowers Doctrine, or other acts of negligence, our firm is regularly retained to defend those allegations and, if necessary, to win those cases at trial.

We also work with some clients in drafting policy language to avoid future litigation. We are frequently called upon to train adjusters to minimize future risks. We realize that helping our clients avoid claims and lawsuits is one of the greatest services we can provide. When litigation is inevitable and our clients want to maximize their chances of winning, they know our lawyers have an unparalleled track record of winning coverage and bad faith cases at the courthouse.

We have extensive experience in the following areas:
