There are many ways in which property and people are insured. Insurance is there to protect you, to cover the cost of accidents. Unfortunately, many times insurance companies refuse to pay on claims properly advanced and because of that people are left with no option but to hire a lawyer to assist them in dealing with their losses.
If you are one of the unlucky people whose insurer refuses to pay and cover your insured loss, we can assist you to advance a claim for compensation and breach of contract.
In some cases, the insurer’s conduct may constitute a breach of duty to act in good faith. When the conduct is particularly egregious you may be entitled to special damages called “bad faith” damages, or most commonly referred to as aggravated and/or punitive damages. We have the experience to assist you with all your insurance disputes and to recognize when insurer behaviour will attract these types of special damages. There are many types of insurance disputes. These are the most common:
- Refusals to Cover Loses and Claims
- Critical Illness Claims
