Insurance Defense

At Herssein Law Group, an important cornerstone of our practice is insurance defense litigation. We firmly believe that a claim is best represented by an aggressive attorney who develops a case early and presents it effectively for arbitration, settlement or trial. Our major Insurance Defense practice areas include:

Automobile Liability

Our attorneys have handled matters with a wide range of complexity involving numerous parties, catastrophic injury and wrongful death, contested liability claims, and soft-tissue matters.

Personal Injury Protection

PIP costs to insurance companies have risen dramatically. Since, 2008 costs have increased by $1.4 billion, principally due to the runaway fraud that threatens the system, most notably in the metropolitan Miami and Tampa areas. Florida ranks first nationally in staged accidents.
