Professional Indemnity Insurance Disputes
Even the best professionals are vulnerable to claims of negligence when the advice or service fails to meet a client's expectations. When that happens, Professional Indemnity Insurance is safety net against the disruption, costs and damages such a claim might bring. That’s why, as professionals, it's essential that you can rely upon your insurers to support you when things go wrong.
Sometimes, that doesn't happen. Insurers may impose unjustifiable "reservations of rights" rather than support and peace of mind. They might seek to restrict the financial support you are entitled to, or seek to impose more excesses than you are truly responsible for. Worse, the insurer might simply fail to respond, decline your claim outright or seek to avoid your policy entirely.
We are experts in challenging all of these arguments. We act exclusively for policyholders pursuing claims for indemnity against their insurers and for uninsured policyholders defending claims made against them. When your insurance doesn't provide the support you need, we're there to use our expertise to fight your corner.
We're experienced in acting for:
- Solicitors
- Accountants
- Insurance Brokers
- Surveyors
- IFAs
- Architects
- Engineers
