Insurance Disputes
You have insurance so you are protected, right?
Unfortunately, in many cases the insurance policy is ambiguously drafted, or the policy you thought you had, is not in fact what you have been sold, and a claim for loss you thought you were covered for is denied. Or maybe your insurer has determined that the coverage is something less than the losses you have actually sustained.
We have helped numerous clients—both corporate and individual—negotiate with their insurers to resolve claims and recover their losses. In cases where the insurer has been intractable, we have assisted our clients to pursue a well-articulated and properly evidenced complaint through the insurer’s internal complaint resolution process, and/or through the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. If litigation is ultimately required, we are there for that too.

We will provide straightforward and upfront advice about balancing the costs with the expected outcomes.
We will make sure the path to recovery of your money is as simple and quick as possible.
