Some 25 years ago I owned a small business employing several staff. The business no longer exists, but out of the blue I have received a claim from one of the employees through a no win no fee solicitor. I have endeavoured to trace my employers’ liability insurance, but one of the big firms which I believe took over my insurers say they no longer hold the records. Where do I go from here?
Employers’ liability insurance is well regulated and the Financial Conduct Authority requires all general insurers to supply information regarding their responsibility for employers’ liability claims. A specialist tracing service, such as the Employers’ Liability Tracing Office, will probably be able to help.
