All insurers require advice on policy defences that could potentially be taken against assureds.

The US courts can be a destination of choice for such disenchanted assureds. Proceedings alleging the insurer has committed a fraud in the course of either underwriting the policy or investigating the claim may be how the assured seeks to get before the US courts.
