What Types of Cases Involve an Insurance Expert Witness?
Insurance expert witnesses aid and testify in numerous cases. The cases vary from insurance policy interpretation to insurance claims in regard to insurance coverages, bad faith claims, subrogation and liability, risk management, determination of damages, personal injury, and insurance fraud investigations.
Learn how an insurance claims expert witness can contribute to each of these cases:
Insurance Policy Interpretation
An insurance claims expert witness analyzes and interprets the terms, conditions, and language of policies. By doing so, they can determine coverage, exclusions, and obligations of the insurance.
Insurance Coverage Disputes
In these cases, experts are employed to assess the terms and conditions of insurance policies and opine if a certain claim is covered.
Bad Faith Claims
Insurance claims expert witnesses investigate the insurer’s conduct to evaluate if there was bad faith. These include cases where the insurer delayed or wrongfully denied a claim.
Liability and Subrogation

Risk Management

What are the Fields of Expertise of an Insurance Expert Witness?
Insurance experts should have knowledge in life, health, auto, homeowners, and commercial insurance, besides reinsurance and workers’ compensation. These fields of expertise are detailed below:
Life Insurance
Life insurance is insurance that serves as a financial safeguard to families. When a person with life insurance dies, the insurance provider will pay a sum to the policy-nominated beneficiaries. This amount supports the beneficiaries in replacing lost income and other expenses.
A life insurance expert witness can provide opinions and testimony on topics including due diligence, beneficiaries, and life insurance underwriting.
Health Insurance
In this type of insurance, someone pays a monthly premium so the company pays all or a part of the person’s healthcare costs.
A health insurance expert witness has experience in this field and can form opinions and provide reports and testimony.
Auto Insurance
In car insurance, a person pays a premium to an insurance company that will either cover all or a portion of the costs involved in a future accident. The insurance helps car owners in the case where the car becomes involved in a car accident, stolen, or damaged in a natural disaster.
Auto insurance expert witnesses can be crucial when going through a coverage conflict. They advise on topics such as underinsured motorists, no-fault insurance, and auto insurance cancellation issues.
Homeowners Insurance
It typically insures against loss or damage to the interior and exterior and loss or damage to personal property and injuries suffered on the premises. Fire loss, windstorms, and lightning loss are typically insured.
Insurance experts can analyze what is covered and evaluate the amount required by the company as a deductible.
Commercial Insurance
Commercial insurance offers protection to firms from loss due to unexpected situations. The situations can be accidents, natural disaster conditions, and litigation.
Aside from providing opinions and testifying, insurance expert witnesses can assess a firm’s insurance needs through the analysis of potential risks.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance is when more than one insurance company shares risks by purchasing policies from other insurers. They do that so their loss is limited in case of a disaster.
Insurance claims experts may provide their knowledge on topics including quota share reinsurance, reinsurers, reinsurance coverage, and proportional reinsurance.
Workers’ Compensation
Worker’s compensation seeks to provide benefits to workers who get injured or sick in an accident while working. It usually covers medical costs, income for lost wages, and disability pay.
An insurance expert may provide opinions and testimony concerning compensation claims, compensation benefits, and injured workers.

To find a good insurance expert witness for your case, there are some elements you should take into consideration.
When looking for an expert, consider the following areas discussed below: qualifications and experience, communication skills, testimony history, and availability.

Employing an experienced expert is also an advantage. They will know what should be on the report and what to expect in court.
Communication Skills
