Overview
Erin Turner helps insurance companies weather complex coverage litigation and disputes involving general liability, professional liability and D&O insurance policies. She protects them against claims of bad faith and extra-contractual liability under primary, umbrella and excess general liability policies, and she steers clients through rough waters in court at both the trial and appellate levels.
Erin recognizes that litigation is often the ripple effect of existing vulnerabilities, and she counsels insurance companies on how to avoid it. She advises on the terms and limits of liability under general liability, professional liability and D&O insurance policies for a variety of matters, including:
- Claims of sexual abuse
- Construction defects
- Securities claims
- Copyright and trademark infringement
- Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) violations
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations
General Litigation
In addition to her insurance coverage practice, Erin defends clients in litigation involving personal injuries at theme parks, allegations of defective consumer products and copyright infringement.
