Martin & Seibert, L.C. and The Claims and Litigation Management Alliance (CLM) are pleased to announce Ms. E. Kay Fuller to serve as professor at the 2016 Litigation Management Institute held on October 20 – 23, 2016 at the Loyola University Chicago – School of Law in Chicago, IL.
Defending business clients in a hostile jurisdiction is the hallmark of Kay Fuller’s practice. Since joining the firm in 1990, Ms. Fuller, a shareholder of the firm, has concentrated her practice on the defense of insurers in coverage and extra-contractual matters at trial and appeal. Ms. Fuller has successfully tried a number of “bad faith” cases in West Virginia and also provides coverage counsel. She also actively litigates administrative matters and chairs the firm’s litigation department.
She is presently involved in litigating issues of first impression ranging from privacy rights to discovery of attorney-client privileged materials in claim files. She regularly defends institutional attacks against insurance carriers wherein punitive damages are sought and provides risk management and litigation strategies to clients to defeat such broad-based attacks. Ms. Fuller provides counsel to insurers on a regional and national level and is sought after as a speaker on insurance-related topics.
Ms. Fuller has authored articles and lectures extensively before local, regional and home offices of insurance carriers, agents and practitioners in the area of insurance, “bad faith” and discovery, as well as application of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act. She has also been recognized as an expert witness in the field of insurance “bad faith.”
