Commercial Lines

A commercial lines insurance expert witness is an individual who has experience in the field of commercial property and/or liability insurance. These experts are called upon to provide testimony in court cases related to insurance matters. Their expertise can be invaluable for guiding a case through the legal system, providing insight on industry practices and protocols, and helping to determine fault in disputes over various policy provisions or coverages.


Commercial lines experts typically have extensive expertise in areas such as underwriting standards, pricing models, claim settlement procedures and policy interpretation. They understand how policy language affects legal liability, which makes them essential to any involved parties trying to reach a favorable resolution or verdict within a legal proceeding. In some instances they may also be called upon by attorneys for advice regarding pre-trial discovery activities associated with preparing for trial evidence presentation strategies.


For example: A commercial lines expert may be asked by an attorney involving disputes over disability policy coverage between two corporate entities seeking legal damages from one another over contractual disagreements on if particular damages are covered under their initial agreement or policies noted therein. The expert witness could analyze both parties' documents as well as industry regulations affecting disability policies before presenting their conclusions on potential outcomes related to the case's end result within domain of attorneys or judges involved with deciding on its ultimate disposition during the duration of proceedings.
