Career
Terry McInnis counsels insurers on complex and high-exposure claims. He is often called on to provide advice on insurance law, policy interpretation and claims-handling issues, and to evaluate and respond to coverage disputes and allegations of bad faith. When litigation is necessary, Terry brings his 30 years of experience representing insurers in arbitrations, trials, and appellate courts throughout the country to achieve successful outcomes for his clients.
He regularly defends insurers in bad faith suits and defends and prosecutes declaratory relief actions on behalf of his clients. He represents insurers in actions against insureds and others for breach of contract, misrepresentation, rescission, insurance fraud, recoupment, contribution and indemnity, and has recovered millions for his clients.
While Terry has advised insurers on virtually every type of insurance, he most frequently advises clients on professional liability (including accountants, lawyers, architects & engineers, real estate agents, insurance agents, seedsmen, and others); employment practices liability; private company D&O; healthcare management; general liability; environmental and pollution liability; product liability; product contamination; construction defect; educators liability; and umbrella, excess and media/technology policies. Terry also assists clients in policy drafting and in responding to investigations by regulators.
