Among our services in all areas of insurance claims, we have a qualified liability team which is here to assist with resolving third party claims that are particularly difficult in terms of coverage or complexity. These claims can be of significance to an insurer for financial, operational or reputational reasons. Problems can arise at the outset of these types of claims, as the claim develops, or as negotiations deteriorate.

We view the service that our liability team provides as critical in the current insurance market and believe that we can play a crucial role in determining insurers’ liability, policy response, and in facilitating fair and appropriate settlement for third party claims.

Our liability adjusters are qualified attorneys, with extensive experience in insurance and reinsurance dispute resolution. We have a proactive approach and promote effective communication between client, broker, and insurer.

investigate, and negotiate liability claims efficiently, facilitating a quicker resolution.

5. Cost Management
Effective handling of liability claims can contribute to cost management for the insurer. By accurately assessing liability and negotiating fair settlements, unnecessary expenses may be avoided.
