There's a reason Daniel Coker Horton & Bell is known as an insurance defense
firm. When Joe Daniel began practicing law in Mississippi in 1946 following World
War II, he joined two lawyers who were defending an ammunition plant in Prairie,
Mississippi, against numerous products liability claims arising out of the manufacture
of artillery ammunition during the war. When the Mississippi Workers' Compensation
Law passed in1948, Mr. Daniel educated himself on the subject and began to receive
cases from various insurance companies, many of which DCH&B still represent.
As his expertise and reputation for success continued to grow, Joe Daniel opened
the firm that would grow into Daniel Coker Horton & Bell.
Today, DCH&B represents a great number of the major insurance carriers across
the country for many lines of coverage. For more than 60 years we have been exposed
to essentially every type of insurance issue, and defended every type of case
covered by insurance. As a result, we have become better advocates for our clients.
Few, if any other firms in Mississippi, have been in insurance defense longer
than we have, and it shows in our work.
DCH&B is not just an insurance defense firm, however. DCH&B has expanded its
litigation practice to direct representation of clients in a broad spectrum of
complex civil cases, including the prosecution and defense of business interruption,
antitrust, securities, energy, natural resources, environmental, class action,
mass tort, bankruptcy, professional liability, labor and employment, shareholder,
partnership, construction, franchise, pharmaceutical, and medical device cases.
And some of DCH&B's attorneys
use their substantial litigation experience to help parties resolve their disagreements
through alternative dispute resolution processes, offering mediation and arbitration
services in business, energy, natural resources, personal injury, construction,
and workers' compensation disputes.
DCH&B has also expanded its practice to offer planning and transactions assistance
for individuals, such as in areas of estate planning and probate, and for businesses,
such as in areas relating to entity formation, entity governance, labor and employment,
contract formation, and asset sales and acquisitions.
Whatever the type, size or complexity of the task, we have the personnel, experience
and resources to both offer objective advice and participate as part of the client's
team to achieve the client's ultimate objectives. |
