truckcover

truckcover is designed to assist your meet your particular needs for accident assistance at the roadside and in providing accident-related legal support thereafter until all options available to you for compensation for your damage, losses and any injuries have been fully explored. 

truckcover provides you with assistance as a one-man-operator driving any vehicle (incuding another lorry or your family car) or choose truckcover plus for a small fleet of vehicles with any driver to get all the benefits of lawcover but at a lower unit cost, including:

  • telephone roadside assistance including 24/7 legal advice and support right at the accident scene and a free one-point-to-call telephone message relay service for your drivers to cancel upcoming business appointments and let you know they are safe
  • a free insurance status check from the roadside on whether the other drivers involved in the accident are insured (subject to conditions)
  • up to £25,000.00 legal expenses cover for each driver and every passenger with full legal advice from the outset tapping in on the expertise of one of our specialist motoring solicitors
  • recovery services, comparable vehicle hire (where possible) and £200.00 worth of private rehabilitation-treatment support for non-fault claims.
  • all membership grades provide cover for Great Britain and Northern Ireland

fleettruckcover is ideal for fleets of any size where typically the claim in most cases is limited to recovery of the policy excess and hire of an equivalent truck where required (along with the personal injury claim of any driver or passenger). 

Hire from a recognised and respectable hire company is essential and lawcover's fleet support team is on hand to assist in choosing the right company at rates which are unlikely to cause problems with the negligent driver's insurers.

Commercial  road users have different needs than the private motorist.  Some fleet vehicles must be kitted out specifically for the needs of the company and hire of alternative transport is not an option.  In cases such as these, a loss of profit claim is appropriate and your £25,000 legal costs cover per driver should prove adequate to cover this.

Lawcover solicitors are all motoring law experts with years of experience in dealing with fleets comprising trucks of all sizes and types including articulated vehicles, curtainsiders, vehicles with cranes and forklifts as well as vehicles specifically designed to meet your individual business needs. In the latter case there can be a major claim for loss of profit as hire will not be possible and every day your vehicle is off the road, your loss increases.

truckcover members can be assured that one of our solicitors will always arrange a meeting or telephone conversation with you so that they can understand the particular needs of your operation as well as suggesting ways in which you can minimise your losses before your truckcover is put in place.
