More about Insurance Claims

Forbes award winning Insurance Department has a wealth of experience in dealing with claims against Education establishments, from primary schools to universities.

Our teams have relationships with the majority of the major insurers and claims handlers in this area, defending a wide range of claims types, from Employers and Public liability to complex and sensitive abuse claims.

We pride ourselves on working in partnership with Education establishments to investigate, defend or settle cases if necessary.

Forbes Insurance department also has specialist teams with experience in dealing with issues of;

  • Accidents in schools;

  • Safeguarding;

  • Looked after children;

  • Human Rights issues;

  • Abuse;

  • Bullying;

  • Failure to educate claims;

  • Data protection;

  • Defamation;

  • Stress claims;

  • Fraud.

A claim being brought against an Education establishment, no matter what the allegation, can be both time consuming for the establishment and stressful for staff being asked to assist investigations and give witness testimony, especially where this is the school's first experience of legal proceedings which is often the case. Forbes Insurance department therefore pride ourselves on our supportive offering to clients throughout the entire process.
