Insurance Disputes

Over the last 35+ years, we have built a reputation within the legal sector as highly adept and experienced commercial and civil litigation experts.

Making an insurance claim isn’t always straightforward as insurance companies can be somewhat intimidating.

If your insurance provider disputes your claim, we have the experience and knowledge to robustly state your position.

If your claim has been wrongfully or mistakenly denied, our team will provide all the support you need to give you the best chance of success.

Our Insurance Disputes Expertise

Our highly experienced and award-winning Litigation & Dispute Resolution Team assist clients in resolving disputes on a wide range of different insurance products, including:

Buildings & Contents Insurance
Critical Illness Insurance
Life Insurance
Mortgage Protection Insurance
Permanent Health Insurance
Public Liability Insurance

We understand that your goal will generally be to get a fair payment from your insurance provider as quickly as possible with minimal hassle. To facilitate this, we will swiftly tailor our approach to your situation, allowing us to get the optimal available result as quickly and simply as possible.

Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution solicitors are adept in various methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"), allowing us to effectively pursue an out-of-court settlement wherever appropriate. However, we also have experience with taking court action for insurance disputes, so we can provide the support you need whatever approach is required.

Arbitration is commonly used for insurance disputes, with many insurance policies carrying an ‘arbitration clause’ specifying that any dispute must be dealt with through arbitration.

An Arbitrator is an independent third-party who adjudicates the circumstances surrounding your insurance dispute and makes a decision on how we think the dispute should be resolved.
Arbitration can allow legal disagreements to be resolved faster than relying on court action or other dispute resolution options, as well as providing a definitive answer to even the most complex and contentious disputes.

Both you and your insurer must agree to use arbitration and sign a formal agreement to accept the decision of the arbitrator. As stated above, this provision may already be included in your insurance policy, so this is something we would need to review when first discussing your matter with you.

We’re here to help.
