Jacob Broughton

Experience

• I specialise in property damage claims and insurance cover.
• The UK insurance industry paid out approximately £6.2 billion in property-based insurance claims in 2019, according to ABI data. As a lawyer, I specialise in defending these property (domestic and commercial) based insurance claims and seeking recovery of insurance payments from liable parties, whether liable to an insured or insurer. 
• I am also a member of BLM’s Policy Indemnity Unit and regularly provide policy coverage advice.  
• I deal with claims caused by damage from the full remit of insured perils (e.g. flood, fire, escape of water, impact etc) but have been involved in a number of high value and complex vegetation-induced subsidence claims involving injunctive relief and multi-party claims involving, coverage, liability and recovery aspects.

Membership/appointments
