Understand before choosing
A review centred on your circumstances.
Legal protection may be a standalone policy or included in another contract; the covered legal areas, thresholds, limits and exclusions must be checked.
Check the scope precisely
Consumer, housing, employment, neighbour or motoring disputes may be covered depending on the policy. The insured legal areas, exclusions, waiting periods, limits and intervention thresholds should be checked carefully.
An amicable solution before court proceedings
Depending on the cover, the insurer may provide legal information and support an attempt to settle the dispute amicably. If proceedings become necessary, certain legal costs may be covered within the policy limits.
Avoid duplicate cover
Defence and recovery cover may already be included in a home or motor policy. Before purchasing a standalone legal-protection contract, it is useful to check what you already have and the applicable limits.
Compare the whole policy.
Price only makes sense alongside cover, deductibles, limits, exclusions and conditions. We collect the relevant information and present available solutions without promising cover that is not provided by the policy terms.
Questions
The essentials.
Does legal protection cover every dispute? +
No. Covered legal areas, exclusions, waiting periods, limits and intervention thresholds depend on the policy.
Can legal protection be included in home insurance? +
Yes. It may be sold as a standalone policy or included within another contract such as comprehensive home insurance, but this is not automatic.
