Theft and other forms of dishonest conduct can seriously harm the financial well-being of a company. Whether due to the actions of an employee, advisor, or outside party, each year businesses in Florida and across the country sustain hundreds of millions of dollars in financial losses from fraud and other types of commercial crimes. Fidelity and crime insurance coverage are designed to protect businesses from the loss of money and goods when these unfortunate events occur. Ver Ploeg & Marino has an advanced understanding of fidelity and crime insurance policies and works with businesses to secure full coverage when insurance coverage disputes arise. Our Miami insurance recovery lawyer has decades of experience handling insurance recovery matters on behalf of policyholders and knows how to identify and obtain maximum recovery for losses associated with all types of crimes and dishonest conduct, including:
While many of these cases involve crimes on the part of employees and managers, fidelity bonds and commercial crime policies may also cover events involving parties outside of your organization, including consultants, contractors, and other business service providers. A Miami insurance recovery lawyer will investigate and analyze each case and work with valuation experts to prove losses. While we attempt to resolve these matters through negotiation, we know how to try these cases to obtain maximum recovery.
In addition to matters involving businesses and employee dishonesty, our attorneys also represent homeowners in theft disputes with their insurance carriers. For example, if a homeowner claims that valuables were stolen from his or her home and the insurance company wrongfully denies coverage and accuses the homeowner of fraud, the insurance company may be acting in bad faith. Our lawyers are well versed in insurance industry practices and have litigated bad faith cases involving all types of insurance coverage on behalf of policyholders throughout Florida and across the country.
If your business has sustained a financial loss due to the dishonest actions of an employee, manager, or other parties, or if you are a homeowner involved in a theft-related coverage dispute with your carrier, Ver Ploeg & Marino may be able to help. Our firm will carefully review your situation and work to develop a plan to secure full and fair coverage for your losses.
