How does it work?

If your claim is accepted, a solicitor will be appointed to act for you, and they will handle all aspects of your claim such as:

Evaluating what you can claim for and the chance that your claim will succeed.

Locating specialists such as a medical expert or counsel. The specialist charges will be met by this Motor Legal Protection policy.

Negotiating with the person responsible and their insurers.

Starting legal proceedings if necessary.

The appointed solicitor is regulated by the Law Society which, in addition to the high standards of service you would expect from the Royal Bank of Scotland, ensures that you receive a professional legal service.
