High profile incidents involving multiple injuries or fatalities inevitably result in insurance claims and need careful, expert handling.
Over the years we have acted for insurers in connection with the Ibrox Football Stadium disaster, the Piper Alpha Inquiry, the West Street bus crash and numerous other major incidents.
We acted on behalf of the insurers of parties prosecuted and sued in connection with the largest outbreak of E-coli in the UK, which occurred in Lanarkshire in 1997.
Today we are acting on behalf of the insurers of Rosepark Care Home in relation to a major fire which occurred in 2004 and on behalf of the insurers of Stockline in connection with the explosion at their factory in Maryhill in 2005.
Chambers UK Guide to the Legal Profession 2007 comments that we are 'particularly adept at complex catastrophic injury cases'.
