The investigation of industrial disease claims requires legal and technical expertise and experience and, invariably, a high degree of confidentiality. Whilst QuestGates has a proven track record for the investigations of all types of Industrial Disease claims where cradle to grave handling is required, QuestGates has a partnership agreement to provide these services with BAI Claims Services Ltd (BAICS), a company which has considerable experience in the handling of construction and industrial disease claims. The QuestGates BAI specialist Industrial Disease division is dedicated to the management of such claims, which are handled by committed experienced adjusters from the first report, through settlement to conclusion.
Appropriately skilled industrial disease consultants, contractors and other specialist disciplines are supported where necessary by expertise drawn from our Liability, Property or Environmental divisions.
