Insurance Disputes

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.

In some cases, initiating court proceedings may be the most appropriate or only remaining option to achieve a fair outcome. 

Where this is the case, our Litigation & Dispute Resolution Team can provide the experienced support and skilled representation you need at every stage of proceedings.
