Legal Expenses Insurance
You may have an insurance policy to pay your legal fees, many people do not realise that they have this insurance. Frequently this is an add - on, often without charge, to a policy primarily designed to cover some other risk.
It is often found in:
- Home insurance or home contents policies
- Car insurance policies
- Credit card insurance policies
- Employer's insurance policies
- Private healthcare insurance policies
- Personal accident insurance policies
- An After The Event policy arranged for you by any previous solicitor
- Union benefits
It is essential that any such cover is identified and we will be pleased to advise you whether or not your policy is suitable. Sometimes although there is cover the indemnity limits may be too low or the types of claim may be limited.
You do not have to accept the law firm recommended by your insurer. Contact us before you contact your insurer for independent advice.
