Cumis Counsel
Categories: Insurance
Let’s say you're covered by a liability insurance policy that states the insurance company will provide legal counsel to you in case you're sued by someone. But...what happens when there's a conflict of interest, such as the insurance company wanting to cancel your policy because information came to light that you might be guilty of something? Like...maybe that wasn't just a possum you hit with your Prius...
The insurance company’s legal team will most likely not be putting forth their best effort to vigorously defend you if the company is going to be booting you out. Thanks to previous court cases, when a conflict of interest happens, you are able to choose your own defense lawyer that the insurance company would still have to pay for.
