When vigorous litigation is the optimal strategy for our clients, we bring extensive experience litigating coverage disputes, including the prosecution of common law and statutory bad faith claims against insurance carriers.

We were the first firm to successfully use the Colorado Consumer Protection Act in the Colorado Supreme Court to redress insurance carrier misconduct.

Our insurance recovery team works collaboratively with defense lawyers and corporate lawyers who also may be representing our clients’ interests. Otteson Shapiro’s work on behalf of policyholders is distinguished by our ability to tap into the resources and experience of our colleagues.  In addition, we recognize that insurance disputes must integrate our client’s business objectives.

Our team’s advantages include:

  • Deep courtroom and trial experience litigating and resolving insurance coverage disputes, including bad faith
  • Sophisticated transactional experience that enables us to structure negotiated solutions to insurance disputes as necessary
  • Breadth of experience to call on with our transactional, trial and insurance attorneys working seamlessly on behalf of our clients to resolve complex, multi-faceted issues
