Liability claims management
Eversheds has over 25 years' experience of advising a wide range of companies operating within the food sector on employers', public and motor liability claims.
From large-scale manufacturers to niche suppliers, we understand the particular nature of the claims that you face.
We manage every type of claim from routine 'slips and trips' to more serious injuries caused by operating machinery, as well as disease claims such as RSI, deafness, stress claims and motor fleet accidents.
As commercially-focused lawyers, not simply insurance lawyers, you can count on us to develop and fight a robust defence, but always with an eye on the costs and the potential impact on your brand and reputation.
We take a firm but fair, robust yet courteous approach to settling claims. Your brand/reputation is one of your most valuable assets and we recognise our role as guardians of it, so ensure we deliver the results needed without unduly affecting the claimant, whether it be an employee, customer or other party. We anticipate and monitor potential PR issues, working with your media relations personnel or agency to sensitively manage them when they are unavoidable. To provide a completely joined-up service on employers liability cases, we also work closely with your HR department.
We provide proactive business support, with our anti-fraud experts protecting you from rogue claims, and our data analysts providing your HR, health and safety, risk and fleet managers with intelligent management information to identify patterns and address claims 'hot spots'.
Most importantly of all, we deliver a measurably better service - we have a proven, independently-audited ability to significantly reduce both the length and overall cost of claims.
