Martin Turner

Martin has over twenty years experience in handling all classes of professional indemnity claims, starting out as a Claims Underwriter for a leading Lloyd’s syndicate before joining and then becoming Claims Manager of a claims management company. Handling professional indemnity claims from first advice to conclusion under delegated authorities for both Underwriters and Brokers. This has involved attending meetings with Insured’s and third parties, and on site investigations.

Martin has also handled professional indemnity claims on behalf of Insured’s where claims have fallen within their policy deductible. This has involved liaising closely with the Directors/Principals of the Insured, handling claims proactively, bringing the claim to an early conclusion to avoid the escalation of costs.

In the last few years Martin has additionally been a front line Public Liability adjuster, particularly handling Contractors ‘holes in roads’ and ‘slip and trip’ losses, a separate discipline complimenting his broader experience.

Martin has also carried out a number of pre risk audits on behalf of Underwriters and claim audits on specific classes of business. This has involved reviewing the claim files, assessing the claims handling, and reserving philosophy.
