You buy a policy of insurance which is a promise to give assistance when things go wrong. Such assistance could be repairing or replacing damaged property or items, covering legal fees, or payment of lump sum amount of money.

To make an insurance claim, you need to lodge a claim to activate the insurer’s response. The insurer will review your claim and decide whether to accept your claim or decline your claim. If your claim is declined and you wish to challenge the decision, you’ll need to get in touch with an expert insurance lawyer.

Most people who own property will have both building insurance and home and contents insurance. There are also many types of general insurance products on the market. General insurance is broadly defined as non-life insurance policies.

There are 6 main types of general insurance:

Home and contents insurance
Motor vehicle insurance
Business insurance
Mortgage loss insurance
Workers compensation insurance
Travel insurance

There are however many other types of general insurance products offered by Australian insurance companies which include:

Construction risk insurance for injuries on a construction site
Aircraft insurance
Defamation insurance
Product liability insurance
Marine insurance and the like

Garling & Co Lawyers are experts in challenging decisions by insurers to decline claims.

If you believe that you have a valid insurance claim and wish to challenge the decision, please contact Matthew Garling on (02) 8518 1120 or mgarling@garlingandco.com.au.

So very impressed with the professional team who looked after me throughout the last 4 and 1/2 years. A special mention to Kerry and Nathan who navigated each request to fight for my right to gain... access to further treatments and physio and to ensure medical treatment would be covered moving forward. I was so grateful I could hand it all over to you and not have to go through this very challenging time without your support.I thank you for the compassion you have provided to me, from the first contact with Matthew and Natasha, to finalisation with Kerry and Nathan.I highly recommend the team at Garling and Co for any third party compensation claims. You are in good hands with them all.read more

Emma, Rebecca and the team at Garling and Co have worked diligently throughout my workers compensation claim. The level of professionalism, support and communication has been faultless. Of particular... note has been the sensitivity displayed to me throughout the lengthy process. Worker’s compensation claims are complex and not easy to navigate, particularly when you are unwell. I do not hesitate to recommend Garling and Co to help you find a way through this otherwise unfathomable system.read more
