Suzanne T. Tighe

Special Counsel

    Suzanne is a member of the Professional Liability Department where she concentrates her practice on insurance coverage issues, including first-and-third party claims, insurance bad faith claims and appellate issues. Admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, Suzanne splits her time between our Scranton and Philadelphia offices.

    In her career, Suzanne has represented both claimants and insureds, and she credits the insights gained from understanding opposing positions with strengthening her ability to advocate for her clients. Suzanne has vigorously defended insurers, third-party administrators and self-insureds throughout every stage of a matter, ranging from the preparation of policy language to pre-suit investigation to formulating coverage opinions and litigating matters through the trial and appellate courts. She has litigated a broad range of claims in both the state and federal courts including insurance coverage disputes, bad faith matters, third party liability matters, first party property coverage claims and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims. 

    Suzanne’s engagement with the insurance industry extends beyond representing her clients. She lectures regularly on insurance related topics and has authored amicus briefs in Pennsylvania State and Federal Courts.
