Insurance coverage is meant to provide financial security when disaster strikes, yet policyholders frequently face rejected claims, lowball settlement offers, and unreasonable procedural delays. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we serve as assertive trial advocates for policyholders, business entities, and institutional clients. We combine deep knowledge of Kenyan insurance law with sharp courtroom strategy to enforce insurance contracts, hold underwriters accountable, and resolve complex coverage disputes.
Navigating insurance disputes under the Insurance Act (Cap 487), the Consumer Protection Act, and Article 46 of the Constitution requires precise analysis of policy exclusions, statutory timeframes, and bad-faith practices. Our litigation team represents clients across a broad range of insurance matters:
Challenging insurance claim repudiations based on alleged material non-disclosure, breach of warranty, or late notification under Section 203 of the Insurance Act.
Litigating against insurers for bad-faith claim handling, hidden exclusion clauses, or unreasonable delays in loss assessment and payout processing.
Pursuing high-value commercial claims involving industrial fire, machinery breakdown, marine cargo loss, and business interruption coverage.
Engaging independent loss adjusters and assessors to challenge understated loss valuations by underwriter-appointed assessors.
Representing policyholders and victims in personal injury and property damage litigation under the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Act.
Filing Declaratory Suits in the High Court to compel insurance companies to satisfy unsatisfied court judgments obtained against their insured drivers.
Handling subrogation claims to recover losses from third-party tortfeasors or their underwriters.
Representing beneficiaries in contested life assurance policies, group personal accident (GPA) claims, and critical illness benefit repudiations.
Challenging medical insurance providers (MIPs) over delayed approvals, emergency care refusals, or pre-existing condition exclusions.
Regulatory Disputes & Insurance Appeals Tribunal:
Representing policyholders and corporate entities in formal statutory complaints before the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) consumer protection desk.
Filing appeals and applications before the Insurance Appeals Tribunal and the Milimani Commercial & Tax Division of the High Court.
Mastery of Policy Mechanics: We dissect complex insurance policy fine print, ensuring hidden or ambiguous exclusion clauses are challenged under statutory consumer protection standards.
Dual-Perspective Legal Insight: Our understanding of both underwriter defense strategies and policyholder rights allows us to anticipate opponent tactics and negotiate stronger settlements.
