Insurance Coverage/Insurance Defense


Insurance is a critical part of risk management from both a business and a personal standpoint.

As new regulations, statutes, and case law make insurance increasingly complex, you need an attorney who truly understands the changing insurance environment. Brown & Ruprecht, PC’s attorneys routinely work in all areas of insurance and types of coverage; including commercial and personal lines, first and third-party coverage, professional and special liability, and both primary and excess liability.

We have extensive experience working in the insurance industry, litigating insurance issues before judges and juries, and serving as mediators and arbitrators in the resolution of insurance-related claims. Clients appreciate our ability to craft a successful strategy, often when it seems there are very few alternatives. We work closely with both insurers and insureds, quickly assessing the facts of a case, keeping communication open, and handling cases efficiently.

Additionally, our litigators have decades of insurance defense experience in state and federal courts throughout Missouri, Kansas and the Midwest, including personal injury defense, professional liability defense, health care liability defense, premises liability defense and products liability defense.
