Insurance Litigation Attorneys in New York & New Jersey

Comprehensive Insurance Litigation Defense

At Larkin Farrell, we represent insurers across New York and New Jersey in high-stakes, high-volume coverage disputes. From no-fault claims to complex reinsurance matters, we serve as a trusted litigation partner for carriers facing first-party, third-party, and bad faith claims.



With deep experience in state and federal courts, we understand how to resolve cases efficiently—but we’re also built for trial. We represent insurance companies in matters involving policy coverage, liability defense, fraud investigations, and regulatory compliance. Whether the goal is early resolution or litigation through appeal, we tailor our strategy to deliver the best result for each case.

No-Fault Collections:

We investigate no-fault medical claims thoroughly—evaluating liability, priority, and fraud indicators to ensure compliance with statutory obligations. We defend insurers against exaggerated and questionable claims while protecting against exposure beyond policy limits.

First-Party Claims

We defend against claims involving property damage, business interruption, environmental loss, disaster recovery, and more. Our attorneys analyze policy exclusions, challenge exaggerated or fraudulent losses, and pursue denials where appropriate.

Third-Party Claims

From premises liability to professional negligence, we guide insurers through complex litigation strategies, early case valuation, and trial defense. We’ve handled third-party claims involving wrongful death, construction defect, product liability, and cybersecurity breaches.

Bad Faith Insurance Claims

We defend insurers accused of acting in bad faith—evaluating each case for procedural compliance, reasonable claim handling, and clear policy language. Whether settling or trying the case, we protect our clients’ reputation and minimize long-term exposure.

Professional & Director/Officer Liability

We defend professionals across industries—from medical, legal, and real estate to engineering and finance. We also litigate high-risk claims involving D&O liability, advising public, private, and nonprofit boards.

Construction Defect Litigation

Our team has represented insurers in construction defect claims involving residential and commercial buildings, managing everything from code violations to structural design disputes.

Environmental & Toxic Tort Claims

We handle coverage disputes involving asbestos, mold, lead, groundwater contamination, and hazardous material discharge. Our team brings technical insight and regulatory experience to every environmental claim.

Reinsurance Disputes

We represent reinsurers and ceding companies in matters involving facultative and treaty agreements, run-off claims, underwriting disputes, and follow-the-fortune provisions.

Attorney Review Periods Are Time-Sensitive

Our attorneys assess liability exposure and strategic resolution pathways early—avoiding unnecessary motions and discovery that increase costs with limited value.

Declaratory Judgment Can Preempt Larger Disputes

In complex or high-volume litigation environments, early clarity can mean the difference between one strategic legal filing and dozens of costly lawsuits. At Larkin Farrell, we regularly initiate declaratory judgment actions to resolve legal uncertainty, affirm policyholder obligations, and help our insurer clients avoid unnecessary litigation.

Not Every Case Should Settle

We identify cases headed for trial early and prepare aggressively—knowing that some matters must be litigated to protect the integrity of coverage and deter abuse.
