Seth I. Weinstein
Partner
Mr. Weinstein’s practice is principally concentrated in the areas of property loss litigation and insurance coverage, including the defense and prosecution of subrogation actions. These cases/claims often involve catastrophic building fires, explosions, building collapse, equipment and machinery malfunction, maritime disasters, water damage, water main breaks, mold, theft of property, property contamination, and other pollution-related matters. Mr. Weinstein also assists insurance carriers with claims investigation, coverage interpretation and litigation of losses in the Unites States, Europe and Latin America. He has significant experience in very large complex first-party property coverage disputes, including many disputes concerning the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Mr. Weinstein routinely lectures on the subjects of property loss litigation and insurance coverage for clients and Continuing Legal Education programs.
