General Liability

The Firm provides assistance in GL disputes on behalf of insurers and reinsurers, as well as public and private bodies. Our Professionals have an extensive experience with legal issues concerning personal injury, property damage, premises liability and economic loss. Our years of experience gained through a defense-directed practice allow us to quickly and correctly analyse issues, risks, and exposures for litigation.

The Firm assists primary insurers in general liability claims on behalf of their insured public municipalities and other public bodies in several Italian regions, as well as concessionaries of public services. We are active in the Casualty and Personal Injury sectors and in all classes of business classified as International Casualty. In this area of insurance, the Firm is also active in the assistance of insurers and reinsurers in defending claims in the context of binders related to the tourism industry (Travel insurance Policy) and in Property Casualty, including natural catastrophes, where we marked a remarkable experience being involved in the major recent Italian casualties and natural disasters on behalf of the London insurance market.

We recently assisted the primary insurers of an Italian municipality following slides and flooding which caused the loss of entire residential building; a public municipality in a class action for damages related to carbon dioxide prolonged urban emissions; a public school in bullying actions perpetrated by some school mates against others, public bodies in incidents caused by wild animals on public roads as well as a large Italian municipality in a series of claims promoted by residents following a major overflow and consequential flooding of a river in the area.

Our GL experts have great litigation experience over many years of court disputes with highly satisfactory results, close cooperation with insurers experts and commercial approach in settlement of meritorious claims to minimize legal fees where a court litigation appears no longer necessary.
