Troy Beecher

Troy Beecher, a leader of the Global Insurance team in Florida, has devoted his career to representing insurers and policyholders in the investigation and litigation of complex insurance matters in nearly 40 Florida counties. In his coverage practice, Troy provides insurers valuable consultation regarding their duties to defend and indemnify policyholders in various claims including construction defects, homeowner and condominium association liability, commercial automobile liability, commercial property damage disputes, wrongful death, and premises liability. He also represents insurer interests in litigation as needed. His years of experience representing policyholders directly in liability claims—including mediations, evidentiary hearings, and trial—provide him with the necessary perspective to provide informed evaluations benefitting insurers and insureds alike during the rise of construction-related Florida claims.

Troy also brings extensive first-party litigation experience to the Florida insurance team, having represented insurers in both state and federal courts in residential and commercial property claims involving appraisal and bad faith, as well as large-loss property claims involving fire loss, sinkholes, hurricanes and windstorms, and theft. Additionally, Troy was a part of Goldberg Segalla’s Coronavirus Rapid Response Task Force, which evaluated hundreds of business interruption claims nationwide. He has also presented webinars and podcasts on various first-party and third-party coverage matters.

Troy is also a member of Goldberg Segalla’s Diversity Task Force, which strives to conceptualize and implement diversity-focused programs and give diversity a voice in our decision-making at the highest level. The individuals on this task force share the firm’s strong commitment to increasing diversity, and they use their unique experiences and backgrounds to support and advance that goal.

Troy attended Drexel University on a Navy ROTC scholarship and studied in Bonn, Germany, where he interned with the German Defense Ministry. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in International Studies and a concentration in German, Troy received a commission as an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserves and began his military career on the U.S. Mission to Germany, where he assisted with the U.S. Embassy’s relocation from Bonn to Berlin. He served his first tour of duty in Mayport, Florida as an engineering officer and his ship’s legal officer, assisting the commanding officer in the prosecution of non-judicial punishments and administrative actions. His first tour also included participation in America’s first response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Troy’s second tour took him to Gaeta, Italy, as assistant operations officer for the Sixth Fleet command ship controlling all European-Mediterranean naval operations, during which time he participated in the opening stages of the 2003 Iraq War. Troy received an honorable discharge as lieutenant, and is a two-time recipient of the Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
