Motor Legal Assistance

Enhance your car insurance with extra legal cover

24/7 helpline – legal advice whenever you need it

If you have a car accident where the other driver is to blame, get expert legal help to claim compensation from them.

If it's more likely than not your case will be successful, you'll get help to claim for injuries or costs which aren't covered by your car insurance.

There's no solicitor's fee to pay, so you keep all of your damages.

What losses can I reclaim after an accident?

Get up to £100,000 in legal assistance to reclaim:

Your car insurance policy excess
Alternative transport costs
Loss of earnings
Compensation for injuries received in an accident
