In such instances, you may be able to simply deny cover, however in many cases there is a legal requirement to meet the third-party claims in the first instance. In these circumstances, we will support you in considering whether there are any prospects of redirecting the claim to another party or the merits of a successful recovery from the policyholder.

As an insurer, your investigations may reveal that a policyholder had failed to declare full and accurate information when taking out their insurance policy. Or they may have acted fraudulently in the bringing of a claim in the first instance. As a result, you may have been insuring a risk that you did not know about or you may have paid out for something that never happened.
