This cover is purchased to fund the costs of legal advice and\/or the costs of bringing or defending a court case. Generally, most Legal Expenses policies contain a clause which specifies that the case must have a reasonable prospect of success in order to pursue or defend, however, each situation is judged on its own merits. The reasoning behind this is quite simple, in that it is not in anyone\u2019s interests to pursue or defend a case they are unlikely to win.<\/p>\n
Each policy contains different sections of cover so it is important that you familiarise yourself with the coverage before taking out the policy. These policies are ideal for companies without their own in-house legal team as the costs involved in defending your company\u2019s legal rights will certainly stretch the resources of any business and have a negative effect on their finances. Taking out a policy is a sensible way of protecting yourself in the event of a dispute. Please note that Legal Expenses Insurance is not concerned with the payment of damages.<\/p>\n"},{"title":" If I have a vehicle\/fleet of vehicles on cover, who updates the Motor Insurance Database (MID)?
