Are You Eligible for Legal Expenses Insurance to Fund Your Case?

What Is Legal Expenses Insurance?

Legal Expenses Insurance is a type of cover included in many insurance policies, such as home, car, or professional insurance. It can provide financial support for legal fees related to criminal cases, depending on the terms of your policy.

A typical policy may cover legal costs up to £100,000, offering significant relief during what can be a stressful and uncertain time.

What Can Be Covered?

Legal Expenses Insurance often covers a range of driving-related offences, including:

• Causing Death by Dangerous or Careless Driving
• Causing Serious Injury by Dangerous or Careless Driving
• Dangerous Driving
• Driving Without Due Care and Attention

However, it is essential to review your policy’s terms and conditions, as some exclusions may apply. For example, offences involving drink or drugs are typically not covered.

Our experienced team can assist you in reviewing your policy to determine whether your legal fees may be covered. This can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and ensure you have the best representation moving forward.
