Private Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year thousands of claims are rejected by insurance companies. If yours is one of them, you may feel there\u2019s little you can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not the case, we\u2019ll help you challenge your insurance company\u2019s decision to get it overturned. If you\u2019ve had a claim rejected or disputed you may feel it\u2019s a lost cause, but that\u2019s simply not true. Disputed Claims assist in ensuring you get the appropriate legal advice so you can make an informed decision on what to do next. Our panel of solicitors specialise in this area and have helped many people, who faced a similar situation to your own, get the solution they needed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What happens when the unexpected happens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Insurance policies are often forgotten about, until that is the unexpected comes along and you make a claim. You then expect your insurance company to honour the policy you\u2019ve been paying for, but unfortunately that\u2019s not always the case. In fact, sometimes it feels they\u2019ll do anything to avoid paying your claim. A major problem is that policy insurance provisions are often open to interpretation, and that\u2019s why you need an expert in insurance law on your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding insult to injury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve suffered a substantial loss, the last thing you want is someone dragging everything out and then denying your claim or cancelling your policy. That\u2019s simply adding to your stress and it\u2019s adding insult to your injury. If you think this is happening to you, and you require assistance, get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It costs nothing to make an initial enquiry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In suitable cases, our recommended law firm may carry out an initial review and act on a no win, no fee basis, without requiring any payment upfront.Some matters, particularly those requiring a detailed review of documents, expert evidence or complex legal issues, such work may need to be considered on a fee paying basis to review those papers but the law firm will always explain any proposed charges clearly and obtain your agreement before carrying out such work. Even where it is concluded that no further action should be taken, an independent legal assessment can provide useful clarity and reassurance. In many cases, however, there may be practical steps available to improve the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA solicitor has already said I have no case.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In many of the cases referred, the policyholder has already received an opinion from a solicitor, or barrister that the claim cannot be pursued. We\u2019ve plenty of examples where such cases have had a dramatic turn around and it\u2019s produced an immensely important result for the individual concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ombudsman has decided against me.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have already complained to the insurer and the complaint may not have been upheld by the Ombudsman. But you have to understand, you\u2019re at a disadvantage in this process as the insurer has a host of investigators, experts, and solicitors that can support their position. The Ombudsman service tries to be fair to both sides, but our panel solicitors have seen many cases where they\u2019ve simply got it wrong. Those cases have proceeded to court where claims have been successful. If you\u2019ve such a case, it\u2019s important to get assistance in preparing your complaint and consider your options if the Ombudsman doesn\u2019t assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a \u2018no win, no fee\u2019 guarantee, you can\u2019t lose!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018no win, no fee\u2019 agreement can make all the difference between having the financial resource to successfully challenge an insurance company, or having to accept their decision to dispute or reject your claim, even if you disagree with it. All Disputed Claims\u2019 solicitors are able to offer a \u2018no win, no fee\u2019 agreement to assist you with the funding of pursuing your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n
