Disputes with actuaries

How DAS Law can help you

Our experienced team of dispute resolution lawyers will provide you with practical legal advice if you have a legal dispute with an actuary.

These are some of the outcomes we can achieve for you:

Important things to consider

Here are some important things you should be aware of regarding your legal problem:

• Proving that an actuary was negligent can be challenging.  You must show that no reasonably competent actuary would have acted in the way your actuary did or would have failed in the way your actuary failed.
• Proving negligence will often require compelling expert evidence from another qualified actuary who is prepared to stand up in court if necessary.
• The time limit for bringing a claim could start to run from the date of the actuary’s error or when the advice was acted upon, rather than when the actuary’s negligence was discovered.

How much will it cost?

If you would like DAS Law to help you with your dispute with an actuary, there are a number of ways to fund your legal costs.

Legal expenses insurance (LEI)

If you have a commercial insurance policy this may include LEI cover. If so, your legal costs may be covered by that policy, subject to its terms and conditions. If you are unsure if your insurance policy includes LEI cover, we will check this with you.

Personal LEI

No legal expenses insurance

Unfortunately we are unable to take on private instructions at the moment, and can only work with customers who have legal expenses insurance.
