We can manage any type of personal injury claim, and cover both motor and non-motor claims. We offer delegated authority schemes to firms that meet our criteria for performance and case volumes and even provide a specialist offering for more niche areas of law for example abuse, brain injury and animal acts.
Civil / Commercial litigation claims are individually assessed for ‘after the event’ (ATE) insurance. We realise that with these cases it’s often preferable to take a case-by-case approach and that you often require bespoke cover for your clients.
If you’d like to apply to become one of our solicitor partners for ATE insurance, or perhaps just to discuss it a little further at this stage, please get in contact and one of our dedicated account managers will be available to help you.

Access to justice
I wouldn’t have been able to afford the legal costs if I hadn’t had this cover from DAS. It’s a brilliant service, and it’s a great safety net to have.
