Insurance policies provide essential protection to companies involved in all aspects of construction projects, and maintaining adequate insurance coverage is a core component of an effective risk mitigation strategy. When negotiating contracts in relation to construction projects, parties across the construction industry must ensure that the terms of their agreements address applicable insurance coverage to cover the risks associated with the project. From questions as to the type of coverage, policy interpretation, and issues pertaining to third-party and additional-insured claims, disputes can arise under a broad range of circumstances. Favorably resolving all types of insurance considerations, claims, and disputes requires experienced legal representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
