Property insurances

Operating a business creates certain risks of claims. It is necessary to provide adequate insurance cover for the whole range of these risks. Interruptions in business operations as a result of, for example, fire are often the worst-case scenario that an organisation can be confronted with. Property insurances provide cover against loss or damage to business assets and the resulting business interruptions.

As a result of these claims, discussions regularly arise about the policyholder's pre-contractual obligation to provide information, the declaration of an increase in risk, the interpretation of grounds for exclusion and general issues of cover. The question also regularly arises as to whether there is a deliberate intent on the part of the insured or insurance fraud. These underwriting discussions can be quite complex. 

Leeward advises and litigates on behalf of insurers and companies on these insurance issues. Leeward, for example, regularly advises insurers on the possibilities of recourse and assists in recovering the damage they have paid from any liable third parties.
