A claim might be made against an individual from an insurance company in several scenarios, typically involving allegations of liability where the individual is covered under an insurance policy. Here are some common situations:
- Automobile Accidents: If an individual is involved in a car accident and is alleged to be at fault, the victim(s) may file a claim against that individual’s auto insurance for damages and injuries.
- Homeowner’s Liability: If someone is injured on an individual’s property, such as slipping on ice on a driveway, the injured party might file a claim against the homeowner’s insurance for medical costs and other damages.
- Professional Malpractice: In cases where professionals such as doctors, lawyers, or architects are accused of negligence or errors in their work, affected parties may file a claim against the professional’s liability insurance.
- Personal Injury: If an individual’s actions, whether deliberate or accidental, cause injury to another person, the injured party might claim against the individual’s personal or umbrella liability insurance for compensation.
In each of these cases, the insurance defense attorney represents the insured individual, defending them against the claims and ensuring that the insurance company provides coverage in accordance with the policy terms. This legal support is crucial in helping individuals navigate the complexities of liability and insurance law.
