Insurance Law
Financial security in the face of uncertainty.
Insurance law is where this firm started, and it is still what we do every day. Hein Wiese has practised short-term insurance litigation since long before Wiese & Wiese opened its doors in 2011, and remains personally involved in insurance matters on a daily basis. He is assisted by a team of attorneys who are well versed in insurance-related matters.
A claim you counted on can be turned down in a single letter. That is exactly when cover should mean something. We read the policy the way it was meant to be read, and we hold the line for you.
How we can help
- Advice on insurance legislation and compliance
- Policy interpretation, application and reviews
- Complaints to the insurance ombudsman
- Litigation on subrogated recoveries and liabilities
- Disputed claims
- Liability and quantum audits
- Vehicle release disputes
If you are an insurer, a broker or a policyholder with a dispute on your hands, talk to us before it grows teeth.
Common questions
You do not have to accept a rejection at face value. Your policy sets out how to dispute the decision, and beyond that you can take the matter to the insurance ombudsman or the courts. An attorney can assess whether the rejection actually holds up against the policy wording and handle the dispute for you.
Both. Insurance litigation has been the core of this practice since 2011, covering subrogated recoveries, liability disputes, policy interpretation, quantum audits and disputed claims.
