Commercial insurance is an important part of running a business to provide protection from adverse events. If an insurance claim is refused, it can have a huge impact on a business and its ability to operate.

If your insurance company is refusing to settle your claim, mediation is an affordable and effective option. Insurance mediation is a private process for settling disputes where an arbitrator will review both the evidence and arguments from both sides before coming to a decision. Mediation has many benefits over a lawsuit that is played out in court, including confidentiality. It is legally binding and is much faster than a court case which can take several years. It is also more cost-effective and far less stressful that going to court, and generally far more amicable.

The team at Dillon Geraghty Solicitors LLP have extensive experience helping businesses to mediate insurance disputes with their provider. Whether your business has suffered property damage, theft, fraud or been impacted by fire, storm or flood, you can count on our team to help achieve a satisfactory outcome from your insurance claim.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented particular difficulty for some organisations who have tried to claim business interruption insurance in the wake of mandatory lockdowns imposed by the government.
