Lawyers have a professional responsibility to uphold the law. The law says that people who are injured by the actions of others have the right to be compensated for their losses. Some of those losses are easy to calculate because they are expenses incurred as a result of an injury. Other compensable losses involve placing a value on the quality of human life, and the amount of compensation can often be as high as a jury can be persuaded to go.

An insurance defense attorney has many tools at their disposal to address legal issues. One such tool is a declaratory judgment action, which can be utilized to define legal controversies before a matter becomes an entire lawsuit. Declaratory judgment actions allow parties to a potential action to determine their rights and responsibilities before a lawsuit is filed. This creates a helpful landscape of legal issues before any costly and time-consuming litigation commences.
