• DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company has launched a legal expenses insurance policy for hauliers and PSV operators covering Western Europe, Austria and Switzerland. The policy will cover legal costs up to £100,000 a claim and a lawyer will be supplied if necessary.
General manager and director Tony Holdsworth feels that many countries believe that "if a driver is foreign, he must be to blame". Many countries not covered by the new policy, are covered by one of DAS's three motor legal protection policies.
DAS will also pay for out-ofcourt settlements under the terms of the legal expenses policy, indemnifying policy holders for the wages of employees attending courts or tribunals and offers a 24-hour legal advice service.
