An Insurance Attorney is an individual who practices the law related to insurance matters. Attorneys might be solo-practitioners or work as part of a law firm. Insurance companies who retain attorneys to defend them against lawsuits might hire staff attorneys to work for them in-house or they might retain attorneys on an as-needed basis. A.M. Best's Directory of Recommended Attorneys and Adjusters lists insurance defense attorneys who concentrate their practice in insurance defense such as coverage issues, bad faith, malpractice, products liability, and workers’ compensation.
