Property Damage & Insurance Disputes Overview
As the leading Real Estate set in the South West, we pride ourselves in the comprehensive and professional legal service we provide to our clients. Our barristers advise major insurers, brokers, policyholders and claimants on property insurance disputes, and appear in courts and tribunals at all levels throughout the UK.
Areas of expertise:
- Explosion
- Fire
- Flood
- Impact (from falling trees and vehicles)
- Nuisance claims, particularly those involving invasive species
- Structural damage from subsidence due to construction activities, tree roots and landslip etc
Those with backgrounds in insurance law also advise on and conduct cases involving issues of insurance coverage, claims avoidance and fraud.
We act for a variety of local authorities, statutory undertakers and insurers (both in defending claims and in pursuing recovery from others by way of subrogated actions), and private clients.
Matthew White successfully represented the defendant in the Supreme Court decision in a Japanese knotweed case (Davies v Bridgend County Borough Council [2024] UKSC 15). You can read the full case summary here.
