Committed to early resolution and risk minimisation.

Our specialist insurance practice has for over 20 years represented and advised insurers and self-insurers. Walsh Halligan Douglas is a respected specialist in defendant workers’ compensation, public liability and CTP litigation. 

Our approach to insurance and associated litigation on behalf of insurers and self-insurers ensures that we focus on the critical issues of each matter, moving toward a fair settlement and cost effective litigation of claims, in a timely and expeditious manner.  The key to our approach is the early resolution of claims and the implementation of risk minimisation programs and procedures.  This is based on two key imperatives:

• process; and
• reporting.

Our team has extensive experience in mediating and settling personal injuries disputes by way of conference. 

Mitigation

As a firm we believe that a claimant’s requirement to mitigate their claim is a much under-utilised tactic in a defendant insurance lawyer’s conduct of a claim for personal injuries.  Further information in relation to this ground-breaking model can be supplied on request.
