At Temple Legal Protection, we know that solicitors acting for claimants in clinical negligence cases face increasing scrutiny when it comes to securing after-the-event (ATE) insurance. Risk assessments remain central to that process – but how confident are you that yours meet today’s expectations?
Following the success of our previous guidance, we have published a new Risk Assessment Guide for Clinical Negligence Solicitors, which reflects current thinking and practical requirements when presenting a case for ATE insurance.
This updated guide includes:
- A structured overview of what insurers are looking for in a risk assessment
- Advice on key areas to address, including breach, causation, limitation and expert evidence
- Common pitfalls to avoid when preparing or submitting a case
- Insights on how clinical and legal contexts have changed since 2021, including cost pressures and pandemic-related care issues
If your matter has to be referred to Temple (rather than handled under delegated authority), the guide sets out exactly what information helps us make a fair and informed decision.
As always, we are here to support our Coverholders and other panel firms in refining their processes – so whether you’re looking to review how risk assessments are prepared or simply want a clearer understanding of what ATE insurers are currently looking for, this guide is for you.
