01/06/04 Petplan Equine Launches Legal Advice Helpline
On June 1st, Petplan
Equine, one of the UK's largest equine insurance providers,
is launching a free legal advice helpline for all its customers
called "Lawphone".
Petplan Equine
customers will have unlimited access to the free helpline
which can be used for equine issues as well as other personal
matters that are not related to their horse.
"Lawphone" is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for professional legal
advice on any personal matter such as:-
- Contractual issues in relation to buying, selling
and loaning horses
- Legal advice on how you should handle the situation
if someone alleged that your horse had injured them.
- Advice if you were involved in a road traffic accident
and needed help to recover uninsured losses
- How to make a claim if you have been injured at work
- Employment issues including bullying at work and unfair
dismissal
- Noisy neighbours
When customers
call the helpline they will be asked for a brief summary of
the problem. The details are then passed to a professional
legal advisor who will call back within 24 hours.
There is no restriction on the length of the call and
written advice can be provided for those unable to use the
phone.
Fiona Pinkney,
Petplan Equine Communications Manager said "The society in
which we live is becoming increasingly litigious and an increasing
number of people are taking legal advice at some point in
their lives. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer this additional
benefit to our policy holders."
