Marine Insurance & P&I Claims

Establishing the Facts After a Casualty

When a casualty occurs, the technical facts decide the claim. Establishing them quickly, and recording them properly, is what separates a claim that settles from one that drags through dispute.

We attend the incident, establish cause and the extent of loss through independent investigation, and prepare the documentation required by P&I Clubs and insurers to bring the matter to a close.
