Subrogated Recoveries
Bugden Allen provides specialist subrogated recovery services, conducting detailed liability reviews to identify and pursue recovery pathways — even where fault is not immediately apparent. Our focus is on maximising recoveries for insurers and insureds while maintaining disciplined cost control.
Identifying Recovery Opportunities
Our team undertakes detailed factual and legal analysis of claims to identify potential third-party liability. This includes examining contractual arrangements, statutory obligations and factual causation issues that may support recovery.
We are experienced in identifying recovery prospects that may otherwise be missed at an early stage of a claim.

Water ingress and flooding
Fire damage
Structural and building defects
