Subrogation and insurance dispute attorneys Rebecca Wright and Steven Alsip were selected to speak at the National Association of Subrogation Professionals 2018 Litigation: Skills and Management Conference. Their talk is entitled “Fire: Burning Down the House”, and examines strategies to carry the burden of proof in a fire subrogation claim.
Property Subrogation for Fire Claims Require an Emergency Response
Fire property damage claims require a skilled and swift investigatory response in order to maximize potential for recovering a subrogation claim. In our videos and podcasts, we often address fire damage claims when explaining how to navigate adverse subrogation situations in cases of property loss.
This includes those that involve subrogation pursuit against utility companies; the laws for which vary by jurisdiction. Because they can be some of the most complicated subrogation actions, successfully subrogating a fire claim hinges on diligent and experienced counsel.
