Practice areas include the following:

  • Builders risk coverage

Large Recoveries – with the Least Expense and Shortest Amount of Time

Drawing upon over 20 years of policyholder representation, SDV has extensive experience to help policyholders maximize insurance coverage at the lowest possible cost. While SDV believes in aggressive advocacy, assisting policyholders may not always require litigation. SDV has learned through experience that the successful resolution of issues can often be accomplished by working side by side with corporate risk management.

SDV offers expert advice to contractors on insurance program requirements and specifications as well as frequently encountered insurance issues involving general liability, products and completed operations, wrap-up policies, and environmental and pollution coverage.

Each of SDV’s clients has specialized business needs. SDV works closely with each client to formulate strategies that are legally sound and consistent with the client's business methods and philosophy.
