Misrepresentation and Policy Exclusions

Many insurance industry disputes stem from alleged misrepresentation or non-disclosure at the underwriting stage. Insurers may argue that owners or operators failed to disclose material facts, resulting in denial of coverage. Our lawyers have extensive experience interpreting insurance contracts and identifying whether such exclusions truly apply.

We act for clients across the transportation field, including marine and road carriers, where issue of force majeure, registration, and regulations can impact policy interpretation. We ensure that every case is supported by clear evidence and that our clients’ interests are advanced through skilled litigation and negotiation.

Failure to Comply with Regulatory Conditions

Failure to meet regulatory compliance obligations such as those under federal transportation law or provincial law acts can jeopardize an insured’s coverage. We routinely advise on compliance under Canada’s complex transportation regulations, including marine, air, rail, and road modes.

Our team helps transportation companies and contractors navigate evolving laws governing vehicles, cargo, warehouse storage, and registration. We also provide counsel on how to maintain compliance with municipalities’ and federal regulations, protecting your business from coverage denials rooted in procedural missteps.

Underinsurance and Partial Payment Issues

In the insurance industry, underinsurance and partial payment are among the most contentious issues. Many transportation owners find that their insurer will only cover a portion of the loss, citing excess limits or valuation disputes.

Our lawyers assist clients in interpreting contracts, calculating proper coverage, and litigating to recover the full value of goods lost or damaged in transit. We represent both domestic and foreign clients who require strategic counsel in Canadian courts for claims involving complex jurisdictional issues and multi-party commercial agreements.

Why Transport Insurance Claims Are Denied

Denials may arise from many issues, including:

• Non-disclosure or misrepresentation.
• Failure to meet regulatory compliance standards.
• Policy exclusions or limitations under governing acts.
• Improper drafting of transportation contracts of bills of lading.
• Jurisdictional issues in international transportation matters.

Understanding why your claim was denied is the first step in recovery. Our lawyers act swiftly to analyze your insurance policy, assess the applicable law, and determine the best litigation strategy to protect your business interests.
