So you get what’s due to you after road accidents.
Legal protection
optional
Accidents involving your vehicle can often lead to large claims: repair costs, claims for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and disputes with the police and the authorities. The parties involved in the accident often disagree about who should pay. That’s where Legal protection insurance for road-users and drivers comes in. These insurances are important extensions to third-party motor insurance. The latter only covers the defence of unjustified claims for damages by the other party, but not the cost of pursuing your own claims.
