Cayman Islands Insurance Defence Lawyers

Because of Hampsons close ties to the insurance industry, Hampsons representation of most major insurers, and Hampsons defence of medical professionals, Hampsons does not take on or provide representation in plaintiffs’ personal injury or plaintiffs’ medical negligence matters.

Partner, Paul Keeble, has nearly 40 years’ experience in the insurance defence field representing and advising insurers, in the defence of their policy holders. He takes a particular interest in claims involving mechanical or engineering aspects, and has considerable experience in accident reconstruction.

Paul has been involved in most of the leading local cases of relevance to liability insurers and has led in the use of particular provisions contained in the Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act; the decision in Andrade v. Frederick being one of the most significant among these.
