Legal expenses insurance

Being involved in a legal dispute can be costly and stressful to pursue or defend. Many people are put off from taking legal action because of the cost and uncertainty of the outcome.

Legal expenses insurance typically covers the legal expenses involved in most personal injury, consumer, property and employment disputes, as well as awards of the other party's legal costs.

Top tips

  • If you make a claim for legal expenses you'll usually be required to make a case that any legal action has a reasonable chance of success and you are usually required to accept any reasonable offer of settlement.
  • Always check your motor or household contents insurance policies - you may already have this cover written into your insurance or be able to add it on for an additional cost.
