Career
Cary Lerman has been representing clients in their most complex and significant insurance coverage matters for over 40 years as both a trial lawyer and adviser.
Mr. Lerman's practice focuses on all lines of property and casualty and errors and omissions liability insurance, including general liability policies, officer and director liability policies, legal malpractice policies, fidelity bond and crime policies, electronic errors and omissions policies, environmental impairment policies, engineering and architecture liability policies, cyber-security policies, aviation policies and first party property damage policies, including business interruption insurance.
These matters involve insurance coverage for environmental contamination, construction defects, product liability, securities law violations, employee theft, mass tort personal injury claims, advertising, trademark, copyright and privacy violations, and space launches, among others.
As a trial lawyer, Mr. Lerman's practice includes litigating insurance coverage disputes and other claims in state and federal court. He has successfully tried general insurance coverage and bad faith claims. He won a multi-million dollar jury verdict against a national insurance company under a third-party liability policy, obtaining a finding of bad faith and punitive damages, and won, on summary judgment, a bad faith finding against more than one national insurance company in two separate lawsuits.
