Although one may think of Minnesota as landlocked, marine liability claims frequently arise here under commercial and personal insurance policies due to the large boating communities on the navigable waters of the Mississippi River, St. Croix River, and Lake Superior. Our Marine Liability Group has developed relationships with the insurers, marinas, boat owners, and operators we represent in liability claims arising from marine activities. Our attorneys are experienced in defending marine liability claims in both state and federal courts involving personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, insurance coverage and subrogation.

Marine losses are often significant. Prompt retention of counsel to investigate and defend such claims is essential. Our Marine Liability Group assists clients in achieving optimum results through our involvement from the onset of a loss, even before litigation is commenced. Such prelitigation involvement includes scene investigation, retention of experts, preservation of evidence, and coordination of defense strategy. Our clients trust our attorneys to develop innovative strategies to achieve desired results.

True success includes accurately identifying all additional coverage, third party liability and subrogation potential. Our attorneys not only provide assistance after a claim is filed, but are also available to review presuit matters for their coverage, settlement and subrogation potential.
