Construction defect lawsuits have two primary components – demonstrating the existence of defects and establishing insurance coverage to obtain money for the repairs. Proving a builder or contractor liable for damages is only half the battle—showing insurance coverage for the damages is the other half of the fight. In order to maximize monetary recoveries on behalf of his clients, Dan Zimberoff had to become adept at evaluating, deciphering and unlocking the coverage puzzle created by the large insurance companies. In essence, these cases are akin to a two-tiered chess game, a case within a case.
From the beginning of every case in San Diego, the Inland Empire or Coachella Valley, Homeowner Law’s litigation strategy includes thorough insurance coverage and bad faith analysis, including navigation of highly technical aspects of policy coverage and exclusion language. Throughout prosecution of a case, insurance issues often evolve that effect legal strategy. Dan Zimberoff can adapt and improvise trial strategies in order to successfully traverse the complex insurance landscape.
Homeowner Law employs our in-depth insurance coverage knowledge and experience to provide other insurance-related services to our clients. We assist our homeowner and commercial property clients with property insurance claims, D&O, E&O or other liability policies, policy renewals, or any loss potentially covered by insurance.
Insurance companies are multi-million (and often billion) dollar companies who make money denying claims. Fortunately, California has strong pro-consumer statutes that help keep insurers in check, including attorney’s fees provisions and punitive damages. Even with these strong laws, insurers often push the envelope or cross the line into insurance bad faith. Dan Zimberoff routinely sues insurance companies on behalf of his clients to recover what is rightly due under their insurance policies, having recovered millions of dollars in bad faith and insurance coverage damages.
