Environmental claims

Environmental incidents can produce considerable difficulty and substantial costs for businesses and insurers alike, as well as providing a stark reminder of the fragility of our environment.

• Your claims will be practically and economically resolved
• We manage the weight of the Environment Agency or local authority upon the customer demanding remediation
• We provide certainty over legal liability issues involving the confusing mix of criminal and civil environmental law

Our specialists handle the most challenging claims and provide consultancy and guidance from day one. We manage extensive media interest all wanting a scoop from unprepared customers.

Remediation options need to be swifly investigated and evaluated - and costs controlled. Business may face disruption and damage to their reputation and brand name, we will help to minimise the impact.

The handling of claims arising from pollution incidents needs a comprehensive understanding of the technical issues, a calm, organised approach, skill and sensitivity. Our enginners, agriculturalists, surveyors, accountants, chartered loss adjusters, arbitrators, legal executives and law graduates are readily avilable to provide the best solutions.

Our national liability team provide full geographic coverage, which enables a swift initial response and cost-effective monitoring thereafter. We have established relationships with external organisations who can provide you and your customers with expert advice and assist in minimising the impact of such incidents.
