Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses his experience handling insurance coverage cases. He explains that when the firm was established in 1985, it began without an existing book of business. As a result, they often took on cases that were considered more marginal, including those in which insurance coverage was uncertain. Over time, this experience allowed them to develop substantial expertise in coverage matters.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding not only their clients’ insurance coverage but also the coverage held by opposing parties, as this knowledge is critical in effectively framing a case. He likens this approach to the way Willie Sutton approached bank robberies—going where the money is. Similarly, a case may have strong merits, but without adequate insurance coverage, or if coverage is compromised, the strength of the case is significantly diminished.
