Hamp Moody brings over four decades of carrier-side litigation and insurance coverage expertise to the mediation table. His practice areas span the full spectrum of insurance and reinsurance disputes.
Each practice area reflects deep, carrier-side experience — the kind of knowledge that only comes from decades inside the industry.
Disputes concerning claims filed directly by the insured — property damage, business interruption, and fidelity claims — where coverage denial or undervaluation is alleged.
Disputes involving CGL, professional liability (E&O), and D&O policies where the insurer disputes its duty to defend or indemnify the insured in underlying liability actions.
Claims alleging insurer breach of the duty to settle within policy limits, failure to investigate properly, or unreasonable delay in claim handling under Texas common law.
Complex coverage issues arising from insurer insolvencies, handling of claims portfolios, and obligations related to insolvent carriers and Guaranty Associations.
Resolution of priority disputes between multiple layers of coverage, including allocation of defense costs and establishing the exhaustion of underlying limits.
Mediating and resolving disputes between cedents and reinsurers, particularly those involving complex international contracts, market clauses, and long-tail liabilities.
Focused resolution of coverage issues stemming from construction defect claims, including interpreting ongoing operations exclusions, insuring agreements, and Builder’s Risk policies.
Disputes specific to professional liability policies, often involving nuanced policy language regarding professional services, exclusions (e.g., prior acts), and allocation.
Mediation strategy for highly complex cases involving numerous carriers, complex time-element claims, or environmental liability where allocating responsibility is the central issue.
Cases centered on the interpretation of ambiguous policy language, disputes over policy formation, or the application of doctrines like Fortuity at the time of policy inception.
Currently mediating throughout Texas, including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
