Welcome to the Indiana Insurance Coverage Blog

Welcome to our blog. I’m Greg Gotwald; my co-contributor is Tonya Bond. We decided to start this blog to help inform policyholders of their rights against insurance companies. We’re both attorneys working at Plews Shadley Racher & Braun LLP in Indianapolis focusing on corporate insurance recovery, though we handle individual recoveries as well.

Insurance affects everyone—companies and individuals.  Liability, property, auto, life—you cannot avoid insurance. I’ll admit it—not all insurance companies are bad. If an insurer does what it’s supposed to do, we don’t hear about it. However, we’ve seen enough to know that insurers sometime take ridiculous positions.

We’re not personal injury attorneys, but the premise of a lot of their commercials is right: When dealing with insurance companies, know your rights. Arguing with the insurance companies is a daunting task. Most of the time, you don’t have the policy to review. Even if you have the policy, they are written in such a way the average person can’t begin to understand it. Unfortunately, policyholders often have to hire an attorney to get the issue resolved.

If you find yourself in a battle with your insurer, don’t give up hope. As a policyholder you have generally have the law on your side. Hopefully with this blog, we’ll be able to share some of our knowledge and experience to help you work through your issues.
