Types of Property Damage Claims We Handle

Property damage claims can arise in a variety of contexts, each requiring a specialised and tailored approach. Below are some of the key types of claims we handle:

Public Liability Claims

Public liability claims for property damage often arise when third parties allege that the insured’s actions caused damage to their property. Examples include:

• Damage caused during construction or renovation work. We work with insurers and insureds to examine the alleged damage, identify any contributory factors, and develop strong defences.
• Accidents involving vehicles, machinery, or equipment. Our team analyses the specifics of each incident to establish liability and challenge baseless claims.
• Incidents involving environmental damage, such as pollution or flooding. We provide expertise in navigating complex claims to mitigate exposure.

First-Party Property Damage Claims

First-party property damage claims involve insureds seeking recovery under their own insurance policies for damages sustained to their property. Examples include:

• Fire damage claims involving commercial or residential properties. We assist in determining the cause of the damage and ensuring proper policy application.
• Flood damage claims resulting from natural disasters or infrastructure failures. Our team works to identify third-party liability and secure recoveries where possible.
• Theft or vandalism claims impacting property or stock. We help insurers validate claims and pursue compensation from responsible parties when applicable.

Subrogated Recovery Actions

When insurers pay out claims under first-party property damage policies, they can often seek to recover those costs from third parties responsible for the damage. Subrogated recovery actions can be complex, requiring a detailed understanding of liability and evidence. At Tenarys Law, we have unrivalled experience in recovery claims and we excel in:

• Investigating and identifying liable parties. We work meticulously to gather evidence and determine fault.
• Building strong cases to support recovery efforts. Our team develops comprehensive arguments to maximise recovery.
• Negotiating settlements or pursuing litigation to achieve favourable outcomes. We prioritise achieving efficient and cost-effective results.
• Maximising the recovery of damages and costs. Within Tenarys Law there is Top Tier claimant experience, so we know what is required to maximise the recovery of damages and your costs.

Construction and Engineering Disputes

Property damage claims frequently intersect with construction and engineering disputes. We assist insurers and insureds with:

• Claims involving structural defects or design failures. Our construction expertise ensures precise evaluation of claims.
• Allegations of negligence during construction activities. We robustly defend insureds against unwarranted accusations.
• Disputes over responsibility for damage to neighbouring properties. We facilitate resolution through negotiation or litigation.

Environmental and Pollution Claims

Environmental damage claims can be particularly challenging due to their technical and regulatory complexity. We provide expert advice and representation in cases involving:

• Contamination of land or water. We guide clients through investigations and remediation efforts.
• Damage caused by hazardous materials or waste. Our team can pursue responsible parties.
• Flooding or subsidence linked to construction activities. We deliver tailored solutions to mitigate liability.
