Insurance Policy - Legal Assistance
6 Answers
Hello again!
Ok, my next question is this, please ~
Is it worth paying the extra £26 a year, to include the 'Legal Assistance' in your car insurance policy..?
Over the years I always have, but I'm wondering if I really need it, and what does it actually mean/cover..?
Thanks if anyone can offer any help x

I got the direct uninsured losses paid very quickly and they handled the compensation case, which took 6 years to settle. Much better than the 'no win, no fee' ambulance chasers, this was a highly respected firm that handled my case.
I was in no fit state to sort it out myself so was very grateful I was covered.

In my case I had to finish work as a self employed driving instructor at the age of 42, I was covered by Girl Guide insurance for injury whilst engaged in Guiding activities to a maximum of £15000. I was first offered £750, then £1500 evenutally getting the full amount. It took nearly 3 years to get that amount and 3 medicals. It cost me absolutely nothing with the legal assistance in place and had the Guide insurance not agreed payment, the case would have gone to court. They saw sense in the end. I will always pay the extra premium. Whilst it is dead money if you don't need to claim it is a necessity if you do.
