Insurance Defense

“The law is reason, free from passion.” - Aristotle

Insurance companies need lawyers who are skilled, seasoned and diligent.  Analyzing relevant evidence secured through a variety of discovery techniques and procuring unimpeachable expert witnesses is critical to a successful defense.  Comprehensive and thorough legal advice from attorneys with decades of defense experience is a custom and practice at Helwig, Henderson, Ryan & Spinola, LLP.

Expertise. Professionalism. Reputation.

Our attorneys have represented the insureds of many prominent insurance companies and self-insured entities.  This would include Medical Liability Malpractice Insurance Company, State Farm, Firemen’s Fund, St. Paul Fire & Marine, INA/Aetna, AIG, USAA, PRI and Travelers.  We have also represented the Long Island Rail Road, Town of Hempstead, Village of Freeport and Long Island Water Corporation, among others.

Experience allows the firm to perform its role as defense counsel with efficiency and expertise.  We assist our clients from the initial occurrence with factual investigation of claims and all discovery and pretrial preparation including the retention and trial preparation of expert witnesses.  It is critical to a thorough and complete defense that cases be treated from the outset as though a trial will be necessary.  We have found that this approach lends itself to favorable dispositions prior to trial by motion practice or settlement.  The firm also has many years of experience and success in handling appeals.

From offices in Carle Place, New York, we serve clients throughout Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Manhattan.
