Your challenges
Daily, you read about the growing trend in litigation where every adverse event triggers a claim and where the media highlight novel and repercussive cases. You work in an environment where claims referral companies grow their business on the back of advertising for people with claims to make. Fraudulent claims are a constant problem requiring inquiry, revelation and prosecution.
Your sense of risk management forces you to tackle poor practices wherever you find them, whether in the private or public sector. You need to work collaboratively with brokers and insureds so that risks are effectively managed.
You have to balance your business objectives with the sensitivity a particular case reveals, especially where a death has occurred, seeking to protect your interests while achieving an agreed outcome.
You have to deal with the stresses of Health & Safety Executive investigations and prosecutions, as well as public sector inquiries.
Whatever issues arise, whether of policy construction or interpretation, or agreeing steps that will mitigate a larger claim, you will need people working with you who understand the liability market, whether cases arise from fatalities, minor workplace incidents or breaches of statutory obligations in the private or public sectors. Your advisers need to be articulate and able to use appropriate resources, and the right legal know-how, to engage effectively with interested parties and achieve your objectives.
