The option of legal expenses insurance to cover a road traffic accident claim in Teesside

We would also advise that you check whether you (or your spouse or member of your family living at the same address) have Legal Expenses Insurance included with a Motor or Household Insurance Policy. If you/they have, then we can use this insurance cover to deal with your claim at no financial cost to you.

Remember, as the policy-holder you have the right to choose your own solicitor, not your insurance provider. We are happy to speak directly to your insurance company to sort this out for you.

We can also advise on other funding options that you may have available to you.

Will I have to go to Court if I initiate a road traffic accident claim?

The limitation period (time limit) on personal injury claims in North East England

You have three years to initiate legal action for a personal injury claim. This time limit typically starts from the date of your accident, but it can begin later if your injuries were not immediately apparent.

If you were injured as a child, the three-year time limit starts on your 18th birthday.
