Dispute Resolution Services
Navigating the landscape of insurance claims and construction claims disputes can be both expensive and disruptive. When disputes become protracted, they can impair operations, drawing attention and resources away from organizational objectives. Having a dispute resolution strategy can help.
Areas of Expertise
Challenges with Insurance Claims Disputes
When insurance claims cannot be resolved between the insured party and the insurer, the need for dispute resolution arises. Disputes in insurance claims can be complex and challenging, often resulting from disagreements over coverage, policy interpretation, valuation of losses or the extent of liability. Dispute resolution typically follows the stipulations outlined in the policy. The remedies may call for an insurance claim appraisal, mediation, arbitration or trial.
The Complexity of Construction Disputes
Construction contracts typically set forth the dispute resolution process. Construction disputes can involve not only project costs, but also claims from an owner related to the impacts on future project operations. Owner damages can be liquidated in a contract using a stipulated rate or can involve the quantification of actual losses, which can create complexity in the claims process.
