DESCRIPTION
REPRESENTATIVE WORK

Rescission Actions | Bad Faith & Unfair Claims Practices | Duty to Defend | Scope of Coverage Claims

As experienced and strong advocates for our clients, Duffy & Sweeney attorneys litigate insurance issues and coverage questions in both court actions and arbitrations involving an array of insurance products such as life, property and casualty, marine, and D&O policies.

Frequently, carriers are represented by large, national law firms that aggressively defend their denial of coverage. Duffy & Sweeney insurance litigation lawyers have successfully overcome their efforts, reversing carrier denials and effectively establishing coverage. We have secured statutory penalties in cases involving unfair claims practices.

Our office is based on South Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island in the rapidly developing waterfront / I-195 region, connecting the East Side to Downtown and the Knowledge District. Contact us at 401.455.0700.

The firm represented an insurer on behalf of a RI property owner in a case where the owner of an exclusive, high-income residential neighborhood on the waterfront prevailed on all accounts on summary judgment. The easement was brought by a trust seeking to prevent the property owner from using an express, recorded easement.
D&S represented a regional insurance agency against one of its former agents who solicited the agency’s clients in breach of his non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. The firm’s attorneys obtained a temporary restraining order and, ultimately, a favorable consent order protecting the insurance agency’s business
