Complex insurance claims can have serious consequences for a business, affecting cash flow, project delivery and, in some cases, its wider financial stability.

Yet securing the expected indemnity is becoming increasingly challenging. Complicated policy wordings, interconnected risks and greater scrutiny from insurers can make the claims process slower, more technical and increasingly contentious.

Our risk advisory division, Prospect Risk, recently published a new article examining the challenges companies face when pursuing insurance claims. It considers:

• Why corporate insurance claims are becoming more difficult
• What makes policy interpretation so contentious
• How independent oversight can strengthen a company’s position
• The importance of technical, legal and commercial expertise during a contested claim

Prospect Risk provides independent insurance and risk advice without placing insurance or receiving commission. Working alongside Prospect Law’s specialist legal expertise, the team can help businesses understand their coverage, develop a clear claims strategy and challenge insurer interpretations where necessary.

Where an insurance claim develops into a dispute, specialist legal advice may also be required to examine the policy wording, challenge the insurer’s interpretation and determine the most appropriate route towards resolution. Prospect Law’s insurance and dispute resolution lawyers (link to dispute page) work alongside Prospect Risk’s independent risk specialists to provide joined-up technical, commercial and legal support.
