Business Interruption Insurance Claims

We are acting for thousands of policyholders across the UK to recover losses as a result of forced closures and loss of trading. Do you think you could have a claim? Reach out to the team today. Time isn't on your side but we are.

When the unexpected disrupts your business, having insurance in place acts as peace of mind to ensure your business is uninterrupted. But what if your insurers don’t support you when you need them? We come across this situation all too often; insurance companies reject claims that should be paid under the policy.

Unfortunately, insurers are all too keen to find loopholes to prevent paying their policyholders what they’re owed, leaving you with crippling costs and potential liquidation.

Here at RLK, we help you secure the compensation you’re entitled to. As specialists in Business Interruption Insurance (BII) claims, we’re at the forefront of this evolving legal field and experts when it comes to challenging insurers.

We have the knowledge, innovation and relentlessness to fight for what’s owed to you, so you can focus on rebuilding your business. Our proven track record includes successfully overturning thousands of insurer denials for businesses across the UK.

Whether your claim has been declined or ignored, we’re here to challenge it on your behalf.

FAQs

How do I know if I can make a Covid-19 business interruption claim?

If your business had a valid insurance policy in place in March 2020, and you can show a confirmed case of Covid-19 at or near your premises along with financial loss, you may be entitled to claim. These claims are often rejected on technical grounds, so having a solicitor who understands the fine print is essential. Our team will review your policy, assess your eligibility, and handle the entire process on your behalf.

Don’t take the risk of going it alone. Let us fight for what your business is owed.

What has changed following the latest court ruling?

In September 2024, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of policyholders with “at the premises” clauses, confirming that cover applies in most Covid-19 business interruption cases. This is a major win, but insurers continue to push back and reject claims.

RLK Solicitors were at the forefront of this fight and understand the legal landscape better than anyone. If you want the strongest chance of success, you need a legal team that has already led the way.

Is there still time to make a claim?

We are acting for thousands of policyholders across the UK to recover losses as a result of forced closures and loss of trading. Procedural requirements and documentation take time, and delaying could mean missing out entirely.

RLK will ensure your claim is properly submitted and supported. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can protect your position and maximise your chances of a successful outcome.

Our relentlessness is reflected in our clients' success.

If your business has suffered losses and your BII claim has been denied, it’s time to act now. The nuances of policy wording can be complex, but our experienced team uses their creative know-how and determination to ensure no detail is overlooked.
