BikerMooFromMars Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Sooooo....any idea if I can get that added on elsewhere - or shall I just call them and ask how much extra for legal assistance? Any advice would be great thanks Edited April 10, 2015 by BikerMooFromMars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You don't NEED legal assistance Just use any solicitors and they will take their cut and usually less than the insurance provided one Its an added cost you don't need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC1474 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You don't NEED legal assistance Just use any solicitors and they will take their cut and usually less than the insurance provided one Its an added cost you don't need Absolutely correct.I have covered this subject before (maybe worth looking for) but the bottom line is legal expenses insurance is a rip off, and as Fozzie has already mentioned, if you are involved in a crash that is not your fault, you can choose a solicitor of your choosing, and getting your case funded on a no win no fee (conditional fee agreement) means that they will fight your corner on th basis that if they don't win they don't get paid, whereas legal exenses appointed solicitors will do the minimum work for maximum fees, they will often undervalue your case for a quick settlement to get you off their books and you probably will not deal with the same fee earner twice.
