The Trial &
Insurance Defense
Practice Group at
Hill Wallack LLP
defends claims for
catastrophic personal
injury and property
damage, as well as for
economic damages
stemming from products
liability, construction
defects and
conventional torts. Our
practice involves the
representation of
insurance companies and
self-insureds in defense
of professional
liability claims against
architects, engineers,
attorneys and other
licensed professionals.
On the non-profit side
of the business world,
we have represented and
successfully defended
directors, officers and
not-for-profit
corporations and
associations in tort,
contractual and
fiduciary claims.
Representative Matters
In addition, we represent
carriers that insure governmental
entities against constitutional,
civil rights and statutory tort
claims. The firm has particular
expertise in Section 1983 (federal
civil rights) claims, including:
- Those related to police liability
- Claims involving search and seizure
- Excessive use of force
- Claims alleging illegal government policy and custom
We also defend various media
defendants in defamation matters. In those circumstances where
clients are faced with situations
not strictly within the parameters
of the Trial & Insurance Defense
Practice Group, our attorneys
can call upon the talents and
experience of other attorneys in the
firm concentrating in such areas as:
- Insurance
- Product liability
- Municipal law
- Real estate
- Corporate
- Banking and secured transactions
- Bankruptcy and debtor-creditor relations
- Intellectual property
- Federal and state taxation
- Administrative law
Team Approach
The ability to draw from a wide range of legal resources is the cornerstone of our “team” approach to the practice of law and enables us to offer needed perspective and advice on the full spectrum of our clients’ business objectives, resulting in strategies which are often lacking in the conventional attorney-client relationship.
The Trial & Insurance Defense Practice Group at Hill Wallack LLP views its role not simply as attorneys, but as creative professionals whose primary concern is to:
- Find opportunities
- Initiate new approaches
- Achieve results
The Group is led by partners who jointly have well over 100 years of trial and appellate experience in both federal and state courts.
