Casualty Claims

Forbes casualty team deals with all types of public and employers liability cases, investigating and defending claims in a pro-active and cost effective manner.

More about Casualty Claims

Our lawyers and investigation teams work collaboratively with our clients and fully consider all aspects of a claim. We are fully aware that claims can have not only a financial cost but also a reputational one and we seek to liaise with our clients closely creating a partnership to ensure all eventualities are considered.

Casualty claims are often a target for fraud and as such, our casualty team works with our Anti-fraud Unit to identify links, run causation and credibility arguments and take suspected fraudulent cases forward.

Our casualty claims unit also includes a motor, costs, highways, housing and investigations team.
