Practice Areas
Asbestos/Toxic Tort Litigation
KCESD attorneys have extensive experience in litigating, coordinating, and supervising nationwide litigation of asbestos/toxic tort bodily injury and property damage coverage under primary and excess policies. Our litigation experience has enabled us to develop solid strategies aimed at prompt resolution of disputes based on our extensive knowledge of the pertinent policy language and relevant case law.
Additionally, we have represented clients in nationwide and international coverage disputes arising from exposures to other toxic substances, such as opioids and lead, as well as cases involving blood products, breast implants and other medical devices, welding rods, and mold. We regularly litigate the coverage issues associated with the presentation of these claims to our clients. KCESD has wide-ranging experience addressing the impact of an insured's bankruptcy upon the defense and payment of such claims as well as ensuring that our clients' interests are protected within the bankruptcy proceeding itself.
