Motor Legal Assistance

Enhance your car insurance with extra legal cover

24/7 helpline – legal advice whenever you need it

Get legal help to claim compensation

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 car insurance.

By adding Motor Legal Assistance you can get up to £100,000 in legal assistance to reclaim:1
  • Your car insurance policy excess
  • Alternative transport costs
  • Loss of earnings
  • Compensation for injuries received in an accident

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

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