Insurance Dispute Resolution

Having solid insurance protection should provide business owners with the peace of mind that if a claim is ever brought against you, you would be covered, but around 15 percent of all insurance claims are declined by insurers every year.

If you require a resolution to your insurance dispute, our solicitors can provide a swift and comprehensive service to help you achieve your objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible.

What are common reasons for a claim being declined?

• Failing to pay the amount due to the insurer
• Failing to tell the insurer about something it subsequently decides should have been disclosed
• Failing to tell your insurer about a change in circumstances
• Not sticking to all the conditions in your policy
• The claim is not covered by your policy
• The event being excluded from the policy by an exclusion clause

Once an insurer has decided they are not going to pay out on a policy, it can be a tough battle to persuade them otherwise. The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is on hand to assist in disputes with your insurer, but only if you’re an individual or small business. Larger businesses are not covered by the FOS.

Our experienced insurance dispute team has advised many clients over the past three decades. We’ve taken action against insurance companies over their refusal to pay out on many types of insurance policy – and with a high degree of success.

We specialise in:

• Persuading an insurer to pay out on a client’s vehicle insurance after a near fatal collision
• Persuading an insurer to underpin a client’s premises after it had spent years refusing to do so
• Succeeding in the Court of Appeal over an insurer’s refusal to pay out on a client’s insurance for bad debt
