That's right. We offer all sorts of policies for different claim types, not just cover for Tribunal Cases.
Policies covering your disbursements and all sums awarded against your client.
There are three simple types of policy:
Motor claims
Non-motor claims
Industrial Disease
A standard indemnity of £25,000, with enhanced policies of £125,000 indemnity if needed.
Single ATE premiums fixed at the outset (not staged) so they never need to be re-assessed or increased. No additional interest or administration fee of any kind.
The ATE insurance premiums we source are the lowest on the market - and you don’t just have to take our word for it!
The Law Society's 'Litigation Funding' magazine publishes details of After The Event insurance premiums quoted by all of the major insurers, including ours - the premium levels speak for themselves.
Request any ATE Insurance policiy from our website using a single page policy request screen. Access all policy data and make any changes by logging in to our Secure Client Area.
You only need to tell us when you win, lose or are issuing proceedings. And you do it with just the click of an online button - or let us set up your case management system to do it for you automatically. So that’s it - there’s nothing else to report.
Probably the quickest After The Event insurance scheme to use, freeing up you and your fee earners to concentrate on what you do best, handling files.
Demanding that a case always has reasonable prospects is just an excuse not to pay when you make a claim, so we’ve removed it from the policy conditions. If you are spending your valuable time on a case, the policy will support your decisions. Pretty well a delegated authority.
For every claim on our ATE insurance policies, we log the date we receive it and the date of the settlement cheque. Then we take an average. Over the last 2 years, it’s exactly 6.9 days. That’s better than average.
Plus 97.1% of all claims made between January 2010 and JUne 2011 were paid in full.
If the Policy premium cannot be recovered from the defendant, you can cancel the Policy at any time without charge. Typical reasons are:
This means that there is no risk that you or your client will ever have to pay the ATE insurance premium, should it not be recoverable from the other side.
If you fail to beat a Part 36 offer, your disbursements and all adverse costs are paid in full (instead of being deducted from your own costs). And there’s no need to liaise with us before you make, reject or accept a Part 36 offer – that’s a decision only for you and your client.
Not many ATE insurance policies offer such great cover with you staying in charge of all decisions, check the terms and conditions of yours now to see if they match this.
Even easier than our website. For most systems we can set up your department so you can request a policy directly from your Case Management System at the push of a button. For Proclaim users (Eclipse Legal Systems) we can go even further and fully integrate all policy procedures. All done by us for free.
Our two directors, Simon and Daniel qualified as solicitors in 1981 and 1993 and for many years ran one of the largest Personal Injury departments in the country. When you telephone us, you will only ever speak to a solicitor of at least 10 years seniority, who all have a great understanding of After The Event Insurance, unless you are lucky enough to speak to our Head of Marketing, Kirsten, who joined us straight from her senior position at Pannone LLP.
