The insurance group and reinsurance group at Morristown-based Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti includes seven partners and five counsel, represents numerous major carriers, and handles cases that not only yield significant results but also help develop the law. Riker Danzig, in addition to the 2018 Nationwide case noted below, won summary judgment last year on behalf of Lexington Insurance Co. and Chartis Specialty Insurance Co. in coverage litigation related to allegedly defective field turf; and, in another case representing Nationwide’s Harleysville Insurance Co., won dismissal via a novel ruling in New York state court that a putative additional insured wasn’t entitled to coverage because the named insured wasn’t liable.
