We’ll need the details of the driver if we’re to recover your losses from them.
If you’re involved in a road traffic accident which isn’t your fault we’ll pay the legal costs. Such as recovering compensation for any injuries sustained and loss of earnings from the person at fault as long as it’s more likely than not that your claim will succeed.

Uninsured losses are costs for which you are responsible. Examples include the policy excess, the cost of a hire van and any medical expenses you may incur. However, if you have Direct Line Motor Legal Protection cover we will pay any reasonable cost of legal proceedings against another person who is responsible for the accident, if it results in injury to you or uninsured losses being incurred.
