When a trial ruling puts your organization in jeopardy, our appellate team gives you the strong defense you need to reclaim control. At Lochmiller Bond, we’re committed to reversing adverse decisions for insurers and government entities, so errors don’t define your company’s future.
Our team tackles each appeal with a focus on protecting your financial and operational security, turning complex cases into opportunities to defend your business.
Our approach to appellate cases goes beyond simple appeals; we conduct comprehensive evaluations of trial records, identify areas of error, and craft compelling arguments that address legal misinterpretations. Our appellate attorneys work with insurers and public entities to preserve their rights and reduce exposure, helping secure fair and just results.
For example: if an insurer were held liable in a trial decision for damages exceeding their policy’s intended coverage, we would step in on appeal to challenge the court’s misinterpretation of policy terms. By presenting a focused, clear analysis of the contract’s language, we would argue for the intended scope of the policy and work toward a reversal - protecting our client from unnecessary liability.
Lochmiller Bond’s appellate practice covers a wide array of insurance and liability issues, including:
Our broad experience means we can take on complex appeals and provide targeted, results-driven representation for our clients.
The stakes are high when you’re facing an adverse trial verdict. Without experienced appellate counsel, even minor oversights can jeopardize your appeal, leaving your business or public entity vulnerable to excessive liability, financial strain, or reputational harm.
Missed Opportunities for Reversal: An appeal is often the last chance to correct legal errors made during trial. Without skilled counsel to identify and effectively argue these errors, the opportunity for reversal or modification of the ruling may be lost.
Uncontrolled Liability Exposure: A trial court’s misinterpretation of coverage terms or liability factors can significantly increase your exposure. With the wrong defense team, you may end up responsible for obligations beyond your policy’s intent or suffer financial consequences that could have been avoided.
Risk to Policy Integrity and Business Operations: Unchallenged bad faith claims or coverage disputes can damage your business’s credibility and impact future operations. A strategic appellate approach can protect your policies from costly reinterpretations and safeguard your reputation.
Lost Resources on Weak Appeals: Pursuing an appeal without an experienced team may lead to misdirected resources on arguments that lack legal foundation, costing your organization both time and money without productive outcomes.
