Insurance Litigation

Philip Thompson specialises in insurance litigation, advising insurers and self-insured businesses on serious injury claims, including head injury, spinal injury, and chronic pain. He is skilled at identifying exaggerated or fraudulent claims and takes a legally accurate, commercially focused approach to disputing liability. Philip minimises risk and cost for clients, achieving reductions, withdrawals, or enforceable cost orders where appropriate.

Since qualifying in 2009, Philip has developed a strong track record in handling life-changing injury claims and high-value losses. He has successfully leveraged social media and other evidence to settle claims for a fraction of their pleaded value. Philip also provides practical training and guidance to clients and colleagues, sharing expertise in Civil Procedure Rules, indemnity, and large-loss strategies.
