Hiring an attorney is a necessary step in many insurance and contractual disputes. We can assist with coverage disputes, bad faith claims, hull claims, first and third party claims, marine insurance claims related to yachts and all recreational vessels, and many other unique fact patters and legal situations. Damage to your vessel may be caused by a variety of situations, including collisions with other vessels, damages due to docking or damage caused by the dock while moored, hurricanes or storm damage, partial or full sinking, capsizing, collision with a fixed object, grounding, flooding or swamping. In all of these situations it shall be necessary to work with an insurance company. However, in many cases insurance companies have been known to try to try to provide less than the coverage that has been bargained for under your individual policy. In such a situation, it is necessary to hold the insurance companies accountable and to make sure that the insurance company provides the coveraged they agreed to give you when you took out your policy.

At the Law Offices of Patrick J. Thompson we are aware that while there are instances beyond your control, your insurance policy is in place to protect you from the unknown. If you run into a situation in which your insurance company fails to make good on the policy that they wrote, you may be faced with a heavily discounted offer to settle in full. In such a case, it may be unclear to know what the right answer is, and what your rights really are in your situation. Often boat owners may be presented with excuses that unfairly minimize the amount that the insurance company will pay, or are given excuses that will not hold up to legal scrutiny.
