Insurance Defense

What sets us apart is our full-service approach. Unlike many traditional insurance defense firms, GPMZ is not limited to a narrow scope of defense work. We are staffed by a group of top-tier civil litigators who bring unmatched expertise across a wide variety of cases.

Comprehensive Insurance Defense Services
Our attorneys handle virtually all types of cases within the insurance defense spectrum and beyond. Whether defending claims under personal injury, professional liability, or construction defect policies, we offer expert legal representation across the most challenging areas of civil litigation. Our insurance defense work includes:

• Personal Injury: From premises liability and slip-and-fall accidents to catastrophic wrongful death and multi-fatality cases, we represent clients in high-exposure claims involving hospitality venues, dram shop liability, workplace incidents, and offshore claims.
• Construction Defect: We defend clients from small trade disputes to large-scale construction defect claims involving projects valued in the tens of millions of dollars. Our clients range from subcontractors to general contractors in some of the most complex construction litigation cases.
• Professional Liability: Our team defends professionals across various industries, including medical malpractice, legal malpractice, and claims against engineers, architects, accountants, real estate agents, insurance agents, and directors and officers (D&O) in cases of alleged negligence or misconduct.

Industry Expertise Across Sectors
GPMZ’s clients come from a diverse range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, energy, transportation, retail, and hospitality. Our breadth of experience allows us to approach each case with a deep understanding of industry-specific risks and regulations, enabling us to craft legal strategies that align with our clients’ business objectives. In addition to insurance defense, our litigators handle cases involving labor and employment, nonsubscription, banking and financial institutions, business disputes, environmental law, probate matters, trucking and transportation, and serve as fractional or nationwide general counsel.

Unique Bilingual Expertise
One of GPMZ’s distinctive strengths is our bilingual legal team, led by one of our senior partners. Our dedicated Spanish-speaking professionals allow us to effectively handle cases that involve Spanish-speaking clients, witnesses, and key stakeholders. This capability has led to our frequent retention in high-exposure lawsuits in South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, and other regions where Spanish fluency is critical to case success. Our ability to bridge language barriers and provide seamless legal representation in both English and Spanish is a significant advantage for clients involved in complex litigation across the state.

At GPMZ, our commitment to excellence, combined with our extensive industry experience and unparalleled litigation skills, has earned us the trust of clients across industries. Whether defending against personal injury claims, professional liability cases, or large-scale construction disputes, our team stands ready to deliver results that protect our clients’ interests.
