Having to settle a legal dispute can be a daunting and costly prospect, win or lose. Unfortunately, the Legal Aid system is now available to only a minority and a solicitors time is very expensive.
Our Family Legal Protection policy, underwritten by DAS, has been specifically designed to help people through difficult and often stressful legal situations. The policy gives you the financial support to protect yourself and stand up for your legal rights, without fear of overstretching your resources.
Examples of claims:
Employment disputes
Your employer dismisses you unfairly and you wish to be compensated.
Contract disputes
The shop fits your new carpets badly then refuses to make good the damage.
Your holiday is ruined because the hotel is being refurbished and the tour operator ignores your claims for compensation.
Injury
Injury forces you to miss work – you could be entitled to damages.
Property Protection
Building work on a neighbour’s roof causes damage to your home
Tax Protection
The Inland Revenue decide to investigate your affairs following submission of your personal tax assessment.
Jury Service
You are called to serve at a trial lasting several weeks and you wish to recover your lost salary.
Employees’ Legal Defence
Following an accident that injures a colleague, you are prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
International Cover
A trip abroad results in personal injury, forcing you to claim compensation through a foreign court.
