Tennessee Insurance Coverage & Commercial Litigation

Insurance Coverage Analysis
Insurance policies can become difficult to interpret when a loss occurs or an insurer takes a restrictive coverage position. Clausen Choquette reviews policy language, endorsements, exclusions, reservations of rights, claim facts, and insurer communications to help policyholders understand the coverage available and the issues that may affect recovery.

Insurance Litigation and Arbitration
When a coverage dispute cannot be resolved through the claims process, the firm represents policyholders in negotiations, mediation, appraisal, arbitration, and litigation. Matters may involve denied claims, delayed payments, underpaid losses, disputed exclusions, liability coverage, construction-related claims, excess insurance, and other contested insurance issues.

Commercial Litigation
Clausen Choquette also represents businesses in complex disputes involving contracts, payment obligations, business relationships, ownership or partnership disagreements, construction-related disputes, and other conflicts that can affect operations or financial interests. The firm evaluates opportunities for early resolution while preparing matters for litigation when necessary.
