RLK Solicitors, located in Colmore Business District, are one of the UK’s leading firm in Business Interruption Insurance (BII) claims having pioneered this complex and evolving area of law prior to the pandemic ‘lockdowns’. 

Most businesses have a business interruption insurance policy. They just don’t realise it. It is typically a free bolt on to typical business insurance that covers things like employers liability, public liability and buildings and contents insurance. 

When the impact of COVID-19 hit and your business was forced to shut or trade differently, chances are you turned to your BII policy to see if you were covered. If you have attempted to claim against your insurer, you have almost certainly been left disappointed.

Most businesses were incorrectly told ‘no’ by their insurer or insurance company. RLK Solicitors are acting for thousands of clients and have reviewed thousands of business insurance policies. They have successfully turned around thousands of policies and are keen to help as many Colmore BID businesses as possible. 

Through Financial Conduct Authority data, the team estimate less than 10% of eligible businesses have made a successful claim and that there are hundreds of thousands of businesses in the UK that have not claimed. Could this be you?

So what support is on offer?

• RLK Solicitors will identify if you have a case.
• If you do, they will take steps on your behalf to recover the compensation you’re entitled to on a no-win, no fee basis.
• This is the last year before time runs out in March 2026.

As long as your business was trading in March 2020 and is still active (i.e. not dissolved or liquidated) then you can claim. For example, it doesn’t matter if the business has moved premises or has ceased trading in that time period.

If you’d like to explore free support from RLK Solicitors with your BII claim, contact Chris Guy, Director and Head of Insurance Litigation by emailing cguy@rlksolicitors.com.

Their expertise in commercial litigation positions us to secure the best possible outcome for your claim. In January 2024 over 300 Personal Care businesses, across the UK and Isle of Man, won a landmark case against their insurer, Salon Gold, as it was ordered to payout Covid-19 pandemic losses.
