How to make a claim

It is important that, as soon as you become aware of any incident that could lead to a claim against your legal expense insurance Policy, they contact the Qdos legal telephone advice line. Failure to contact the advice line at the outset, and then follow the advice given, could, in some circumstances, lead to a claim being rejected or restricted.

Details of how to contact the Qdos legal telephone advice line can be found below.

Upon acceptance of the claim, depending on the type of claim, Qdos will either instruct a panel solicitor to deal with the claim or will deal with the claim themselves. Where a panel solicitor is appointed, Qdos will provide written details of the solicitor. The solicitor will then contact you directly. Fees incurred, either by Qdos or a panel solicitor, will be paid directly by the insurer. You will be asked to pay the VAT element if they are VAT registered. This is a claims made insurance; all claims must occur and be notified to Qdos during the Period of Insurance.
