Summary

This essential CLE program focuses exclusively on three evolving and impactful areas of Virginia auto insurance law. Designed specifically for plaintiff attorneys, this seminar delivers practical, up-to-date strategies to help you navigate recent developments and advocate more effectively for your clients.

Join us for a deep dive into the legal tools and recent trends reshaping auto insurance litigation in Virginia. Whether you’re negotiating settlements or preparing for trial, this CLE will equip you with actionable insights to ensure your clients receive the full compensation they deserve.

Topics Covered Include:

  • UIM Stacking Learn how to maximize available coverage by combining UIM limits across multiple policies or vehicles. Understand new statutory changes that expand recovery options and how to preserve your client’s rights.
  • UIM Bad Faith Explore how and when insurers may be held accountable for unreasonably delaying or denying valid UIM claims. Review recent case law defining insurer obligations and the potential for extra-contractual damages.
  • Tender and Walk Settlements Analyze the strategic use of early policy-limit tenders by liability insurers and how to protect your client’s UIM claim when a carrier “walks away.” Includes best practices for coordination and timing of settlements.
  • Plus participate in a 'live listserve'! Ask questions and learn practice tips and strategies from our collective brain trust!

Who Should Attend: Any attorney or legal staff, regardless of experience level, working on behalf of plaintiffs who are looking for a deep dive into the legal tools and recent trends reshaping auto insurance litigation in Virginia.

NOTE: This is a 4 hour video. The last hour does not offer CLE credit but the information provided can be invaluable!
