It will help if you keep the following points in mind:

How we can help

To make a claim under your policy please telephone us on 0117 934 2111. We will ask you about your legal dispute and if necessary call you back at an agreed time to give you legal advice. If your dispute needs to be dealt with as a claim under this policy, we will provide you with a claim reference number. At this point we will not be able to confirm that you are covered but we will pass the information you have given us to our claims handling teams and explain what to do next.

If you would prefer to report your claim in writing please send it to the Claims Department, DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Limited, DAS House, Quay Side, Temple Back, Bristol BS1 6NH.

Alternatively you can email your claim to us at newclaims@das.co.uk

Claims are usually handled by a representative appointed by us, but sometimes we deal with them ourselves. Claims outside the United Kingdom may be dealt with by other DAS offices elsewhere in Europe.

If you need help from us

You can phone us any time on 0117 934 2111 for advice on any commercial legal or tax problem affecting your business.

When we cannot help

Please do not ask for help from a solicitor or accountant before we have agreed. If you do, we will not pay the costs involved.

Problems

We will always try to give you a quality service. If you think we have let you down, please write to our Customer Relations Department at our Head Office address shown in your policy wording. Or you can telephone us on 0117 934 0066 or email us at customerrelations@das.co.uk. Details of our internal complaint-handling procedures are available on request.
