The policy, Legal Aid, is underwritten by DAS and can be added to Assurant Intermediary’s range of B&C policies.
The policy provides clients with access to legal protection against a variety of potential disputes including employment problems, personal injuries, contract disputes, clinical negligence, investigation by HM Revenue & Customs, legal defence and identity theft.
Assurant Intermediary sales & marketing director Kevin Paterson (pictured), said: “A legal dispute can arise unexpectedly with problems ranging from a dispute with your employer to someone trespassing on your property. The cost of settling such a dispute can prove expensive whether you win or lose.
“With Legal Aid now only available to a small number of people the cost of professional advice can soon mount up. We’re delighted to be able to now offer comprehensive and competitive legal expenses from DAS as an additional policy to our range of B&C covers.”
