Bridgeport insurance defense attorneys
Murphy and Karpie, LLC provides insurance companies with a wide variety of legal services, including:  

  • Tort litigation of all varieties
  • Claim management and apportionment services
  • Insurance coverage opinion letters
  • Declaratory judgments
  • Reinsurance advice and disputes
  • Bad faith litigation
  • Professional liability litigation
  • Insurance appellate litigation
  • Arbitration and mediation  

Our firm often helps insurance companies resolve problems involving insurance policy coverage. We analyze every provision to determine the extent of coverage that is warranted under the policy and prepare detailed opinion letters on those findings. After providing our client with the opinion letter, we seek to resolve the issues by filing a declaratory judgment action in court. However, in certain cases, litigation may become necessary to settle issues in dispute. If that occurs, you can rest assured that our attorneys have the knowledge and skill to get you the best possible results. 

We also assist insurance companies in situations involving third parties. Our attorneys often initiate subrogation claims against at-fault third parties in order to get reimbursement for any payments to insureds under their own policies.

Effective solutions with your best interests in mind
Although Murphy and Karpie, LLC has forged its reputation through its litigation abilities, our attorneys commit our best efforts wherever possible to resolving your problems without resorting to court. We understand how expensive litigation can become and that litigation may not be the best option in your case. For these reasons, our attorneys routinely utilize arbitration and mediation to settle disputes for clients at a reduced cost and propose settlements that have your company’s best interests in mind.
