The roots of our insurance law practice can be traced back more than fifty years to the time Collis Gundy Lane and Jack Alton joined forces to represent many insurance companies in a wide range of matters. While we have enjoyed a very high rate of success when we take a case to court, we also recognize that litigation can become costly. Consequently, we are dedicated to achieving the best possible results, whether through trial or settlement.
Because of our reputation for excellence in trial practice, insurance carriers routinely select Lane, Alton & Horst to represent their insureds in such diverse areas as property and casualty matters, premises liability, vehicular accidents, employer liability, and products liability. We are skilled at handling first party and third party coverage matters. In addition to representing defendants in automobile accidents and property damage incidents, our attorneys frequently represent manufacturers, architects, engineers, physicians, healthcare providers and institutions, dentists, attorneys, pharmacists and other professionals. Our attorneys are also often consulted on complex coverage issues.
Lane, Alton & Horst attorneys have more than 300 years of combined experience and have collectively successfully tried hundreds of jury trials, frequently having appeared in all 88 of Ohio's counties and beyond. We also appear in all Ohio appellate districts on a regular basis.
Firm attorneys practicing in this area include two American College of Trial Lawyers members and four ABOTA members, as well as former presidents of the National Society of Professional Insurance Investigators, past presidents of the Ohio Association of Civil Trial Attorneys (OACTA) and the Columbus Bar Association. Our attorneys are also actively involved in numerous defense organizations such as the International Association of Defense Counsel, the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel, and the Defense Research Institute.
