Insurance claims

Get in touch

Herminius supports insurers, reinsurers, and their legal advisors in determining the validity of claims, assessing the extent of potential liability and the likelihood of a successful defence of any claim, and the extent to which they should provision for either a settlement or total loss. We conduct in-depth assessments that clarify facts, verify claims, and uncover fraud or misrepresentation. Drawing on a global network and deep sectoral insight, we operate in opaque, high-risk, or post-incident environments to provide clarity where standard approaches fall short. We have particular expertise in identifying expert witnesses in highly unusual areas, as well as providing experts from our internal team.

Whether assessing liability, validating losses, or supporting subrogation and recovery efforts, our intelligence helps clients make well-informed decisions and resolve disputes.
