There seems to be no end in sight to the onslaught of inflated damage claims companies face from plaintiff attorneys. More than ever, the key to protecting your bottom line is evaluating and resolving these claims quickly, efficiently and economically.

For more than 25 years, Tharpe & Howell has worked closely with insurance companies and self-insureds to meet this challenge. We direct focused and prompt discovery to cut through the often less than candid information provided by plaintiff attorneys, to uncover the critical information you need to arrive at a prompt, fair and accurate evaluation of each matter – both on liability and damage issues. And we help you decide which matters to settle and which to fight, and when the defense of a claim may be effectively tendered to another responsible party.

In addition to handling tort litigation for a variety of insurance companies, we also represent numerous self-insured retail companies, restaurants and commercial and residential landlords. This broad spectrum of client knowledge and experience helps us continually bring new perspectives and strategic insight to each client.

Our litigation experience, expertise and success stretches across a broad array of matters and industries – everything from commercial and residential premises liability, wrongful eviction, mold allegations, Americans with Disabilities Act violations, and Discrimination claims, to intentional torts including assault, battery and defamation, business litigation, malicious prosecution and complex catastrophic injury cases and product liability claims.

No matter the area, we have a team of specialists ready to work with you to develop and implement aggressive strategies for achieving the result you want, cost-effectively. Whether it’s filing SLAPP claims against plaintiffs to secure a dismissal, winning a defense verdict, or obtaining a verdict substantially below a settlement offer in an admitted liability case, we take pride in exceeding our client’s expectations.
