Insurance

Insurance policies do not always behave as expected; it is vitally important to understand what your policy means, and to have someone advocate fearlessly and effectively for your policy entitlements. Our team have done so for clients.

Parry Field Lawyers has been active in resolving insurance disputes since before the earthquakes.

Our team has an impressive track record in negotiating good outcomes, and resorting to the Courts where necessary.  We obtained the first Supreme Court judgment against an insurer after the Christchurch earthquakes and have acted for numerous commercial and residential policy holders since.

Our disputes lawyers have experience with:

  • Experience in advising on policy entitlement and managing material damage claims.
  • Advising on policy entitlement and managing business interruption claims.
  • Assembling the data and expert evidence required to ensure policy entitlements are obtained.
  • Advise on the effect of settlement agreements with insurers.
