Attorney Deleault has successfully defended at trial, and through motion practice, many kinds of insurance and litigation related disputes. These have included all aspects of insurance law, including insurance coverage, bad faith litigation and complex insurance defense litigation. He has successfully tried to conclusion many cases throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Attorney Deleault litigated complex insurance matters with a large, national insurance company for 14 years before serving as an in-house insurance coverage attorney for a national insurance carrier, where he provided insurance coverage analysis and advice for many different types and forms of insurance policies all over the country.
Attorney Deleault has successfully represented:
1. Driver who fell asleep at wheel near construction site, colliding with pedestrians, resulting in catastrophic injuries. In a two week trial, Attorney Deleault successfully argued for the majority of fault to be placed on the construction company and the town for inadequate safety measures.

2. National insurance company in a bad faith trial where Plaintiff’s counsel argued that claim was mishandled and adjusted unfairly resulting in extra contractual damage. The Court ruled consistent with Attorney Deleault’s argument that there was no bad faith or claim mishandling.
