Arson & Fraud

With more than 75 years of collective experience and one of the largest arson and fraud practice groups in the Southeast, Swift Currie is ideally suited to represent carriers resisting first-party claims under commercial and personal lines property policies, as well as life and disability insurance policies.

We can aggressively defend our clients against insurance fraud claims involving arson, fraudulent thefts, inflated claims and insurance application fraud. We can also defend our clients in third-party property and personal injury cases where fraud is suspected. We successfully defend our clients against claims for bad faith or extra-contractual liability that frequently accompany such claims.

And we get results. The attorneys in our insurance fraud law group have pursued declaratory judgments in addition to resisting traditional suits filed against carriers.

We also provide assistance to clients in the selection of origin and cause specialists, engineers and other experts. And we can communicate with the State Fire Marshal’s office and advise clients on their legal obligations to the State Insurance Commissioner in suspicious claims situations.

Our depth of experience in this practice area allows us to fully protect clients’ rights without waiving critical provisions or exposing you to unwarranted risk.
