25.05.2006 - 10:29hAfter the event InsuranceIn the event you decide to pursue a claim against a third party, this is an insurance policy to protect yourself against the costs arising from losing a claim. The insurance company will pay your opponent's expenses.
This is a way to minimise any expensive legal bills you may face if you lose.
Please note. You may NOT be able to purchase this insurance as Insurance companies take into account your chances of winning before they offer you a policy.
Your chances of winning will also affect the amount you pay for this policy

If you lose your case you WILL NOT have pay your solicitors fees but normally you WILL have to pay your opponents costs.
If you win you should be able to get the majority of your costs back from the opponents side.
