Legal Services Cover explained
If you need a lawyer for an issue covered by your policy, we'll provide you with one and legal funding of up to £100,000 to pursue or defend cases in court. This includes:
- Property claims, such as disputes with noisy neighbours or boundary issues
- Employment disputes, including unfair dismissal or discrimination at work
- Personal injury claims, such as food poisoning or accidental injury caused by someone else
- Consumer disputes, like the purchase of a faulty car or breach of contract by a holiday company
- Medical negligence claims against those responsible for your clinical care, such as doctors, dentists, or cosmetic treatment practitioners
The lawyer will discuss your case and represent you if it's more likely than not that you will be successful. Additionally, our 24/7 legal helpline on 0800 096 5850 is available to provide you with immediate legal advice and support whenever you need it.
Please note that legal assistance and funding are only provided for issues covered by your policy. For detailed information, please refer to your policy documents.
