Property loss

DAC Beachcroft handles a broad range of coverage, defence and recovery issues, from multi-million pound major incidents and difficult policy issues to dealing with small property claims.

Our team combines unrivalled understanding of insured property and construction risks with hands-on industry expertise in building, engineering and surveying.

Our major loss specialists advise on the most complex and high-value property losses in respect of coverage issues, liability, claims and recoveries. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with major incidents of all kinds and have been involved in many high profile disasters, both in the UK and overseas, over the last few decades.

In partnership with our insurance company clients, we have produced best practice manuals and helped them set up recovery systems which inter-link with panel loss adjusters and engineers. We have co-written The Subsidence Handbook, a practical guide to subsidence in domestic property and have recently co-authored the respected textbook Property Insurance: Law and Claims.

Our services include:

  • coverage issues and fraud
  • contamination claims
  • fire, flood and impact damage
  • explosions and major losses
  • subsidence, heave and landslip
  • plant or building failure
  • windstorm losses.
