Provided by Hugh James
We have over 40 years’ experience of working for the insurance industry and offer a comprehensive claims service. We have developed particular expertise working not only for insurers but also for brokers, the retail industry, public utilities, local authorities, central government and the transport sector. Our work covers both pre-litigated and litigated matters and ranges from low value to multi-million pound catastrophic injury claims as well as property damage claims.
We have experience of defending personal injury/catastrophic injury claims and property damage claims across the full spectrum of perils including fire, flood, subsidence, impact, explosion, environmental pollution and construction.
We have developed a specific expertise for employers/public liability claims including industrial disease and highways claims. We have a longstanding history of acting for corporate clients, publicly funded authorities and insurance clients across all risk areas.
Our insurance team also comprises a dedicated recoveries team so as to maximize return for their clients. Opportunities to recover outlays are often overlooked and not budgeted for making our service very attractive to insurers and other organisations.
