After the Event insurance

This type of insurance policy usually supports the no win no fee agreements and ensures there is a level of protection when making a compensation claim for personal injury.

The policy protects you against losing your case and an award of costs being made against you. Without the cover you are liable for the costs personally and because no case is 100% watertight you must ensure that you are protected before making an accident claim.

After the Event insurance cover is only necessary where there is no LEGAL EXPENSES insurance policy already in force.

Most people will have access to a legal expense policy - usually through their household insurance policy, motor policy or union representation. The first question a solicitor will ask you is whether you have any such cover.

If there is no cover in place then you may need to take out an "after the event" policy to pursue your compensation claim. However the decision to obtain such cover will be made by your appointed solicitor once full details of your claim have been collated.

It is the responsibility of the solicitor to ensure you are adequately protected.
