MacCorkle, Lavender & Sweeney PLLC has extensive experience in providing litigation services to clients, including coverage and appellate matters. Legal issues related to insurance coverage and obligations of insurers that provide various insurance coverages often are uniquely complex. In addition to representing insureds, a significant part of this firm's practice involves the representation of insurers.

Our Insurance Coverage & Bad Faith Team has extensive experience in the representation of insurance carriers and litigation of the difficult legal issues they face in their efforts to comply fully with their statutory and regulatory duties under West Virginia law. We have an active practice representing insurers and claims personnel in bad faith actions. In addition, we provide representation to agents and brokers.

Along with our extensive experience in litigating cases involving insurance coverage and bad faith matters, we provide advice to clients on internal issues related to the insurance industry. We also represent insurers in administrative proceedings before the West Virginia Insurance Commission.
