The range of indemnity available is up to £500,000.
Our aim is to provide affordable access to justice for claimants and so our cover is competitively priced, with the cost varying depending on the case type and stage of litigation.
We offer fixed premiums with fixed levels of cover, so your clients know exactly how much will be deducted from their damages. What’s more, all of our clinical negligence premiums are deferred and self-insured, meaning that they are only paid if the case is successful.
We have also successfully recovered its clinical negligence premiums in costs assessment which provides our solicitor partners with the assurance that our premiums are reasonably priced.
