The Insurance Law and Litigation attorneys at Smith Haughey have been assisting clients in Michigan with their insurance-related needs for more than 65 years.
Our clients have included individuals, business owners, manufacturers, corporations, motorists, governmental entities, accountants, attorneys, engineers, and others. We have successfully represented these clients in connection with general insurance issues and coverage claims, as well as liability lawsuits and appeals. We’ve successfully provided such services in a wide variety of contexts, from coverage review and analysis to litigation and liability defense.
Notably, our firm was recommended by Benchmark Litigation 2010 for having one of the leading litigation practices in Michigan and included three of our insurance litigation attorneys - Mark Bickel, Todd Millar, and Jack Oostema - on a list of "litigation stars" in the state of Michigan. Our firm is also ranked "#1 in Traverse City in insurance law" by The Best Lawyers in America.
In addition to defending claims against insureds, we have represented many insurance carriers in assessing and resolving a wide range of insurance coverage questions. Our attorneys offer specialized legal counsel and litigation experience in first-party No-Fault claims, insurance coverage analysis, Examinations Under Oath, Declaratory Judgment actions, fraudulent insurance claims, and in presenting and defending selected subrogation actions.
