Skilled Insurance Defense

Several decades spent in defense of companies and carriers give us the depth of knowledge necessary to successfully manage insurance claims associated with each of the following:

Municipal Liability: Municipal Civil Rights, Municipal Torts, Public Officers Law
The comprehensive practice around municipal liability law at BC&G encompasses police and other employee liability, negligent vehicle operation, premises liability and search and seizure. We also represent clients in contract negotiations, employment and benefit contracts, land-use and zoning matters, expropriation, and legislative issues.

Personal Injury: Animal Attacks, Automobile Accidents and Injuries, Labor Law
Individuals making claims against a company in accident or employment scenarios can incur outsized expenses. Our experience at BC&G is to manage these to the most cost-efficient outcome in both time and dollars.

Premises Liability
We ensure the rights of businesses and municipalities with exposure to claims on property defects, third-party negligence, slip and fall hazards, improper maintenance, falling merchandize and security breaches. From pre-suit through trial, our relationships with clients are long-term because of our effectiveness.

Products Liability
Clients facing allegations of defective design, manufacturing, inadequate warnings and instructions, or claims of general liability, breach of warranty, negligence and gross negligence need representation by seasoned lawyers in these areas due to the broad implications of such charges. We understand the risk to reputation and finances, and defend such charges to the fullest extent of the law.

Toxic Torts: Asbestos Defense, Asbestos Litigation, Lead Poisoning, Mold Litigation

Extensive knowledge in the complex procedures and nuances of filing and arguing an appeal is essential to its success. With experience in state and federal courts, several of our attorneys are skilled in this practice area. It begins by establishing an appropriate posture for a case to succeed in appeal, as well as remaining current with the evolution of appellate practices and procedures.

Civil Rights: Civil Liberties, Land Use, Race Discrimination, Sex Discrimination, Women's Rights, Excessive Force, Deadly Force

BG&C represents companies, insurers and other entities in a full range of civil rights practice, ranging from risk management to negotiated settlements or trial. This difficult area of law requires skilled representation by experienced lawyers familiar with both precedent and the courts.
