Steven H. Kaplan

Since 1985, Steve has devoted his practice to the representation of insurance carriers and their insureds. His primary areas of focus are insurance coverage opinions and litigation, appeals, personal injury construction accident litigation, and general defense work in the New York and New Jersey state and federal courts. He has argued appeals before New York's Court of Appeals and three of its four Appellate Divisions, the New Jersey Appellate Division, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and he has filed papers with the United States Supreme Court.

Steve's general defense practice ranges over a wide spectrum of subject matters, including insurance agent and broker errors and omissions, funeral director errors and omissions, employment discrimination, wrongful termination and whistleblower cases, defamation and business torts, premises liability, liquor liability, product liability, asbestos, negligent security, vehicular and aviation accidents, and, on the appellate level, medical and dental malpractice.

Steve worked at Jones Hirsch Connors Miller & Bull P.C. for 29 years, where he was at the forefront in the development of insurance-related defenses to liability in construction accident cases in New York State, and where he spearheaded the firm's expansion into New Jersey, serving as the firm's resident attorney and on its board of directors.
