Construction Disaster Claims

Fire Damage Claims

Many fires are initiated by mechanical or electrical failures.

Our team's technical specialism means they are able to assess the requirements of each case and instruct the most appropriate expert.

Structural Failure Claims

Construction and design errors leading to structural failures can often take many years before they are discovered, sometimes only when part of the structure fails altogether, such as a roof collapse. Our team is provide an emergency incident response, as well as advising on liability.

Water Damage Claims

Flooding, whether due to burst banks, flash floods or broken water pipes can be a devastating experience. No matter where the flood water came from, it is likely to be contaminated with sewage or other pollutants.
