Professional Liability & Insurance Litigation

Victorium Legal defends lawyers, accountants, realtors, and other professionals across Sacramento and Davis, and we prosecute coverage and bad faith claims when insurers refuse to do what policies require.

Defending reputations and enforcing coverage

A claim can threaten your license and livelihood. We respond to demand letters, guide carrier notifications, and build defenses with experts. When an insurer denies defense or payment, we pursue coverage analysis, declaratory relief, and insurance bad faith claims. In disputes that spill into operations, we coordinate with business litigation to protect the company as well as the individual professional.

Malpractice claims and board matters

We defend negligence and ethics allegations and represent clients before licensing boards when needed. Our approach is discreet, evidence-driven, and aimed at early resolution where possible.

Enforce the policy you paid for

We review policies, analyze exclusions, and fight for defense and indemnity. When carriers delay or deny unreasonably, we pursue damages and fees to hold them accountable.

Align defense with business goals

Claims often touch employment, contracts, or real estate. We align the litigation plan with your operations and, when necessary, pursue business litigation against third parties who contributed to the loss.

Professional liability and insurance questions, answered

  • I received a malpractice demand letter. What should I do

    Notify your carrier immediately and contact counsel. Most policies require prompt notice. We evaluate exposure, communicate with the claimant, and work toward early resolution or defense.

  • What qualifies as insurance bad faith

    Unreasonable denial of coverage, failure to defend, or delays without justification can be bad faith. We examine your policy and claim history to determine remedies.

  • Can I choose my own lawyer if there is a conflict with my insurer

    Under California law, you may be entitled to independent counsel in certain conflicts. We can serve as independent counsel and keep your interests primary.

  • How long do these cases take

    Coverage disputes and malpractice cases vary. Some resolve in months through negotiation. Others require litigation and can take a year or more. We set a timeline early and update you as the case progresses.

  • Will this affect my license

    It depends on the allegations and outcome. We advise on reporting requirements and defend you in any related board proceedings to protect your ability to practice.
