Motor Legal Assistance

Enhance your car insurance with extra legal cover

24/7 helpline – legal advice whenever you need it

Get a car insurance quote

Get legal help to claim compensation

Motor Legal Assistance is included with Gold and Platinum car insurance. You can add Motor Legal Assistance to Silver car insurance when you get a quote.

Where the other driver is to blame for a car accident and 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 policy.

You can 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

There are no solicitor fees to pay, so you keep all of your damages.

Other benefits of Motor Legal Assistance

  • 24/7 legal advice helpline
    Get advice on any legal matter from a specialist team of legal professionals. Advice is available whenever you need it.

  • Motor prosecution defence
    Up to £10,000 of legal costs and assistance, and if necessary representation in court, to defend you against charges relating to motoring offences that attract penalty points.

  • Motor contract disputes
    Up to £10,000 of legal costs to represent or defend you if there is a dispute following the purchase or sale of your car, or a dispute about goods or services for your car.

  • Legal document templates
    A range of motoring related online legal documents, like making a formal complaint to a garage about poor quality workmanship.

  • Driver Confidence lessons with AA Driving School
    Regain your confidence behind the wheel after a car accident. Each driver can claim 2 hours tuition with the AA.
