KELLY, SMITH & SCHMIDT, P.C. is panel counsel and choice of counsel for many of the state and national insurers. In addition to providing coverage opinions, our attorneys have defended individuals and companies, including manufacturers, sellers, distributors, contractors, commercial auto claims, certified self-insured and insured employers, transportation companies, and other businesses, with claims across the spectrum from personal injury to business interruption to destruction of property from fire, water, and other causes.
Representing both first-party and third-party claims, we use inventive legal strategies combined with business insight to meet clients’ needs. We understand the importance of developing a defense strategy up-front, preservation of evidence, timely reporting, and the importance of coordinating with both the insurer and the policyholder to timely resolve the claim for an appropriate amount, or take the case through trial, and if necessary, the appellate process.
