Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Claims

Coverage Representation
Pierce & Shearer LLP represents businesses and individuals against insurance companies in coverage disputes.  Our goal is to get maximum coverage levels for policy holders.  Sometimes it appears that insurance companies deny claims as a cost-saving practice.  Many times, as soon as we become involved, our clients' claims are processed and our clients receive compensation.  When the claims are not quickly processed, we have the experience to litigate in a cost-effective manner.  Where appropriate, we bring bad faith claims.
