Harris + Harris need your help to find the best type of funding for litigation. Some people hold "Before The Event" (BTE) Legal Expenses Insurance policies, but are not aware of this. We have a duty to give you advice about the availability of all options for funding your case. We have a professional obligation to check if you have this cover. If we do not bring in these documents we will not be able to comply with our professional duties and that may delay your case .

Please bring to our first meeting the original Policy and all Schedules for any of the following, even if you don't think they provide cover : -

• Any Legal Expenses Insurance policy held by you and/or your spouse, partner or parents living in the same household.
  
  
• Any other insurance policy that may include Legal Expenses Insurance held by you and/or any spouse, partner or parents living in the same household. Examples include:-
• Property Insurance
• Household Contents Insurance
• Benefits attached to Credit Cards
• Insurance taken out for any equipment you were using at the time of the accident, (e.g. if you have insured your bicycle separately)
• Membership Details for any club or organisation connected with what you were doing at the time of the accident, (e.g., cycling club, either local or national)
  
  
• The motor insurance policy, if the accident involved a vehicle. If you are a passenger or pedestrian intending to make a claim against the driver of a vehicle who is a member of your household please ask them for a copy of their policy. If they cannot give you that please bring in the details of their policy (name and address of insurers, policyholders name, and policy number).
  
  
• If you are a member of a Trades Union or other similar organisation please check with them in advance whether they will help. If in doubt bring in any documents that may be relevant and we will check them for you.

If it is relevant we will advise you about After the Event Legal Expenses Insurance when we advise you about your case.

We have a professional obligation to investigate whether you have cover.  If you do not bring in these documents we will not be able to comply with our professional duties and that may delay your case.
