This area covers whether an insurance policy actually provides cover for a loss or claim, and how the policy terms apply in practice. It includes interpreting policy wording, exclusions, conditions and triggers, deciding which losses are covered, and resolving disputes with insurers over scope of cover. A solicitor in this field reviews wording, gathers and tests evidence, negotiates or mediates with insurers, drafts and issues pleadings or notices, and advises on potential declaratory relief or settlement options. The work is shaped by the policy framework and the way cover is triggered.
What a solicitor handles in these matters

They handle evidence gathering, assess causation and triggers, respond to insurers’ investigations, prepare statements of claim or defence, and negotiate settlements or pursue declaratory relief when coverage is disputed.
