What Is Covered?

You have a legal problem, such as:

  • Injury from clinical negligence or an accident that wasn’t your fault
  • Boundary fence moved onto your land, damage caused by neighbouring trees

We will:

  • Give unlimited access to our legal advice helpline
  • Find a specialist lawyer to act for you who will tell you if you’re likely to win
  • Pay up to a typical amount of £50,000 to your lawyer to cover legal costs including the other side’s costs if you lose.

If you are interested in buying Family Legal Expenses Insurance or want to know more about what’s included in your policy, please speak to your insurance adviser.

What Isn’t Covered?

You cannot:

  • Claim for problems that start before you buy the policy
  • Claim expenses incurred before your claim is accepted (e.g. the cost of consulting your own lawyer).

We will not:

  • Continue with your claim if your lawyer doesn’t think you will win.

  • Excesses to make a claim
