Who can make a business insurance case?
If your business has suffered financial loss, damage or theft, you may be entitled to financial assistance through your insurer. At times, when things go wrong, insurance companies can go to great lengths to avoid paying out clients covered under their policy. Our lawyers are experts in bringing justice when insurance companies wrongly undervalue or deny claims.
Your claim may be in relation to:
Property damage or loss
Consequential losses such as loss of profits
Stock loss or damage
Accounting expenses
It’s important to review the terms of your policy as conditions vary between insurers and policies. Our team of expert business insurance lawyers can help you to understand your rights and gain access to your full entitlements.
