Scott is an Insurance Litigation Partner.
Scott works with public companies in the leisure and waste sectors with extensive property portfolios, defending the businesses against claims for compensation in regard to accidents on their premises, public and employer liability. This ranges from minor accidents though to catastrophic life-changing injuries, often taking cases to trial to mitigate damages or see off vexatious claims.
In addition, Scott also works with business clients and their insurers in regard to subrogated claims, where he recovers the costs of remedying damage to premises, buildings, fixtures and fittings which have been caused by a contractor or sub-contractor through flood, fire or other negligent actions.
Scott advises businesses on their insurance policy terms, coverage and indemnity issues, and works to neutralise, deflect or mitigate claims. He often achieves favourable settlements through the use of medical experts and surveillance evidence, and has successfully defended claims all the way to the Court of Appeal.
