Advertising Injury
Font Size 
Overview
Insurance claims for advertising injury and personal injury coverage are becoming common as a result of the current contentious business environment. Commercial policyholders are increasingly finding themselves sued for alleged business misconduct, ranging from securities fraud to theft of trade secrets to defamation. Analyzing if coverage is available for these alleged injuries requires an understanding of the different coverage forms currently in use, the differences between them, as well as a mastery in diverse areas of law, such as intellectual property, privacy violations, antitrust and deceptive trade practices. Defending coverage actions requires nothing less, as well as active and successful trial experience.
