Gilbert Edge

Insurance Recovery & Risk Management

Virtually every kind of insurance matter, anywhere in the world, has Gilbert’s stamp on it.

We’ve recovered more than $42 billion in insurance funds.

Whether our clients face mass torts, third-party claims, government investigations, business losses or natural disasters, Gilbert maximizes insurance recovery quickly and efficiently. We also advise clients on risk management, analyzing and designing insurance policies and other risk-transfer mechanisms before problems arise.

Coverage For Pharmaceutical Company’s Product Liability And Mass Tort Litigation

We served as insurance counsel to a Fortune 500 medical products company with significant product liability and mass tort exposure related to artificial heart valves, hip and knee replacements, and pharmaceutical products.  We resolved all outstanding insurance coverage issues related to these claims under a multi-billion-dollar insurance portfolio.

Recovered $425 Million from One Insurer on Non-Product Asbestos Claims

Following vigorous litigation and court-ordered mediation, we recovered for an asbestos trust $425 million from a primary insurer with single-million aggregate limits. Our lawyers were among the first to identify and pursue so-called non-products claims under general liability insurance policies, thereby obtaining access for clients to separate and potentially unlimited pools of insurance coverage.

Hundreds of Millions Recovered for Securities Class Actions Claims

We negotiated recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars in directors and officers insurance proceeds to fund settlements of securities class action claims asserted against a Fortune 500 company.  In doing so, we overcame insurer objections that the underlying securities settlements were not covered, should be related to earlier claims and paid by other policies, and were excluded based on their alleged connection to one of the largest corporate plea agreements in U.S. history.

INSURANCE RECOVERY IN OPIOIDS

Gilbert’s insurance work also extends to the opioids arena. In our representation of governmental plaintiffs in multiple state, federal, and bankruptcy court proceedings, we have extensively analyzed hundreds of insurance policies to determine the extent to which they potentially apply to opioid claims, and may ultimately provide funds to compensate plaintiffs and abate the opioid crisis.
