South and East Spain facing heavy storms

Due to floods in the East, Southern Spain and Balearic Islands, Cunningham Lindsey Iberia has deployed its organization in these areas to respond quickly and efficiently to the claims that have risen due to nearly 7,000 claims caused by torrential rains and strong winds.

The region of Murcia is the most affected followed by the Valencian Community, Almeria and Balearic Islands.

Since October of this year, this is the fourth deadly flood event to hit Spain.

Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) in Valencia report that around 400 mm of rain fell between 16 and 19 December in Beniarrés (433.2 mm) and Pinet (398.6 mm).

The CLI platform for management and assessment of these type of claims is led by Eva del Campo, Director of Personal Lines and TPA inTrust. We are being decisive in order to respond to the urgent requirements of these circumstances.

The CLI expert network with the reinforcement of mechanisms introduced for such critical response needs and our experience in this type of extreme weather situations allows us to respond effectively to these extraordinary situations.

Cunningham Lindsey Marine appointed as Loss Adjusters on Modern Express

Cunningham Lindsey have been appointed as Loss Adjusters on the Modern Express with regards to the timber on board where it has been said the ship had a heavy list.

Modern ‘MV’ Express with a crew of 22, issued a distressed call on January 26 when the Panamanian – flagged car carrier suffered from a loss of stability. The abandoned vessel was later towed by Smit Salvage to the port of Bilbao, Spain before the vessel either sank, collided with another ship or ran ashore to the French Coast. It has been reported that severe weather played a central role throughout the salvage which made things difficult for everyone involved.

Ton Schox our Global Head of Marine, situated in The Netherlands, is working closely with our Marine office in Bilbao where our concerned interest is approximately 3000 cubic metre of timber from Gabon that the ship was carrying.

Should you require any further information on how we may be of assistance to you and your clients then please contact Ton Schox, our Global Head of Marine.

Over 90% of claims from the Christchurch quakes have been settled, but that still leaves a significant number of losses unresolved.

It is over five years since the first serious earthquake occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand, and there have been nearly 14,000 aftershocks. The 6.3M quake on 22 February 2011 killed 185 people, destroyed much of the inner city and rendered several suburbs permanently uninhabitable. Cunningham Lindsey has been involved in approximately 30,000 claims and has surveyed in excess of 60,000 damaged properties.


  • The Challenge:

    Before the earthquakes the Cunningham Lindsey New Zealand company had 185 staff. We lost both Christchurch offices during the earthquakes, but thankfully none of our staff or their families were seriously injured.

  • The Solution:

    At the height of the earthquake response, our numbers swelled to over 550, and many of the additional adjusters came from Cunningham Lindsey in Australia, the UK, South Africa, Canada, Spain and the US. In normal times the New Zealand office has five chartered accountants. At one stage after the earthquakes we had 56 accountants on board to handle nearly 6,000 earthquake business interruption claims, dealing with customers under great stress, many with businesses and homes in ruins.
