When a claim materializes and there is a dispute over coverage it can mean the difference between profit and loss for an insurance company and/ or the future existence of an insured party. Coverage disputes require specialist knowledge with experience in insurance arbitration. Coverage disputes are often ‘documents only’ arbitration without an oral hearing, which requires detailed submissions and knowledge of interpretation laws.
