INSURANCE LAW
From the beginning, Alverson, Taylor, Mortensen & Sanders maintained
a multi-discipline insurance practice. Our attorneys have a broad range of
experience in all types of insurance matters and possess trial experience
at every level of the Nevada court system, both State and Federal. Matters
handled by the firm range from highly complex and protracted multi-party
litigation to routine liability matters. Through membership in such
prestigious organizations as the American College of Trial Lawyers,
Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel, the Defense Research
Institute, and other professional associations, our attorneys remain on the
"cutting edge" of insurance and litigation issues.

Fidelity/Surety:
ATM&S is one of a very few law firms in Nevada experienced and
qualified to represent issuers of bonds and bond claimants in all
types of fidelity and surety litigation and claims.
-
Construction
Defect Litigation: The tremendous growth in Las Vegas over the
past several years has resulted in a large number of construction defect
claims. As one of the top defense firms in the state, we defend a
large portion of these claims, ranging from minor disputes to
multi-million dollar demands.
-
Environmental
Litigation: The increasing creativity by policy holders'
attorneys to allege damages in order to come within a policy's coverages demands careful attention on the part of an attorney.
"Sick building syndrome" is only one of the many
"new" issues generating extensive lawsuits which demand
prompt attention from experienced attorneys. Toxic torts and asbestos
claims are representative of the nature of our practice.
-
Casualty and
General Liability: Because insurance law embraces all aspects of
litigation, we developed a strong base of valuable resources over a 20
year history by the aggressive representation of our clients involved
in all types of businesses in Nevada. Our attorneys have extensive trial
experience representing individuals, corporations and self-insureds in
cases involving personal injury and property damage arising out of a
variety of torts.
-
Bad Faith:
The firm has a long history of defending our insurance clients in a
broad range of bad faith claims.
