INSURANCE LAW

Individuals, companies, healthcare providers, hospitals are frequently confronted with insurance issues.
Our experienced team of lawyers has been advising policyholders and insurance companies for many years.
We do conduct legal proceedings, but we also often apply mediation techniques to reach a negotiated solution.

INSURED PERSONS
Our clients rely on us for matters such as:

  • Refusal of coverage by an insurer when, for example, an insurance premium has not been paid, the client has already confirmed his liability in writing, damage has possibly occurred before the insurance policy was signed, an accident has been declared late or fraudulently, etc.
  • Interpretation of insurance policies
  • Declaration of a claim to different insurers
  • Road and industrial accidents
  • Accidents in private life
  • Recourse files (insurance companies that want to exercise recourse, insured parties confronted with a recourse claim)
  • Formulating a claim for damages
  • Fire damage and related risks
  • Construction risks
  • Professional indemnity
  • Directors' liability policies

In many cases, insured persons can choose their lawyer freely. We examine the policy of an insured party in order to assess whether independent legal assistance is possible.

ACTING AS COUNSEL FOR INSURERS
Our law firm advises renowned insurance companies. We take care of the legal handling of cases such as:

  • Claims for traffic accidents, medical errors, industrial accidents, construction and fire damage, etc.
  • Cases of fraudulent declarations
  • Claims against an insurance company

MEDIATION AS A PRAGMATIC MEANS OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION
We strongly believe in the usefulness of mediation as a way to solve conflicts. In the event of a conflict, we will assess with you the best form of conflict resolution for your situation: court proceedings or mediation.
Mediation makes it possible to solve conflicts amicably outside the courts. Even in disputes where no mediator has been appointed by the Court of Commerce, our mediators often succeed in solving conflicts between their clients and other parties by applying mediation techniques.
Our colleagues Lieve Dehaese and Guido Quanten have followed training as mediators in both civil law and business law.
