Practice Areas
Insurance Disputes
1st Party Property Damage Claims
Whether you own commercial or residential property—or are a landlord or tenant—a property loss can quickly become more difficult when your insurer delays, limits, or denies coverage. The Glanzberg Law Firm, PLLC, guides clients through every stage of a property damage claim, from the initial submission and policy analysis through litigation, appeals and trial when necessary. Because coverage often depends on how the specific facts align with complex or ambiguous policy language, we carefully evaluate the policy’s coverage provisions, limitations, and exclusions to protect your rights and pursue the recovery available under the policy.
Liability Coverage — Defense & Indemnification Claims
A lawsuit can expose you or your business to substantial legal and financial risk. If your insurer disclaims coverage or refuses to defend or indemnify you, prompt legal action may be essential to protect your interests and enforce your rights under the policy. The Glanzberg Law Firm, PLLC, draws on experience in both personal injury litigation and insurance coverage disputes to evaluate the allegations, analyze the policy’s coverage provisions, limitations, and exclusions, and pursue the defense and coverage to which you may be entitled.
Insurance Broker Negligence
Policyholders trust insurance brokers and agents to secure coverage that protects their homes, businesses, and financial interests. When an insurer denies a claim it may be because coverage was never properly obtained, an application was mishandled, or the policy failed to meet the client’s stated needs, and the broker or agent may be legally responsible. The Glanzberg Law Firm, PLLC, evaluates these circumstances and pursues appropriate remedies on behalf of insureds.
Construction Damage
Contractor Negligence
When a contractor’s defective, negligent, or incomplete work damages your home or commercial property, you may be entitled to recover the cost of repairs and other resulting losses. The Glanzberg Law Firm, PLLC, represents property owners in disputes with contractors, subcontractors, and other responsible parties, carefully evaluating construction agreements, project records, applicable insurance coverage, and the circumstances of the damage. Through litigation and other practical solutions we protect your property and financial interests.
Adjacent Property Construction
Construction on a neighboring property—including excavation, underpinning, shoring, demolition, or renovation—can cause cracks, structural movement, water intrusion, and other serious damage to your home or commercial property. The Glanzberg Law Firm, PLLC, represents property owners in disputes arising from adjacent construction activities, investigates the cause and extent of the damage, identifies the contractors, subcontractors, owners, insurers, and other parties that may be responsible, and holds them accountable.
