Business Interruption Insurance Claim

In these uncertain times, many of our clients are turning to their business interruption insurance policies to provide cover as a result of business closures following the outbreak of COVID-19. But what if your claim is rejected? What steps can you take to challenge the decision?

There are many avenues that you can take, including internal complaints, a claim to the Financial Ombudsman and/or litigation. However, taking such action can be stressful and time consuming.

Here at JFH Law we can help you take on the insurers, leaving you time to focus on preparing your business for when sanctions to the public our lifted.

Our specialist lawyers can help you by:

Reviewing policy wording
Drafting complaints and appeals
Representing you in litigation, and advise on alternative dispute resolution

Funding options

We aim to offer flexible packages of hourly rates and fixed fees depending upon the nature of your case. We understand that you want clarity and so we will agree a clear costs estimate with you at the outset and will undertake regular reviews, to ensure that you can manage the costs of your case as the matter proceeds. Wherever possible we will seek to recover your costs from the other party.

You may have an insurance policy which offers legal assistance, and if so, you should be aware that you are free to choose your own lawyer, rather than use the insurer’s ‘panel solicitors.’

We have the ability to enter into damages based agreements with clients. Work will be done on your case for no charge, however, if you are successful we will receive an agreed percentage of any damages that are awarded. If you are unsuccessful you will not pay any legal fees to us, but may still be liable for expenses and your opponent’s legal fees.
