Legal services for life
As a Unite member, you’re covered for a full range of legal services.
We have dedicated solicitors who are experts in handling claims on behalf of Unite members who have suffered personal and serious injuries including road traffic accidents, brain or spinal injuries, asbestos and industrial diseases.
Members also benefit from expert representation in pursuing a claim for clinical negligence. The service provided has been negotiated by Unite in the best possible terms.
Members’ families, who are not in employment, are also covered for personal and serious injuries away from work, including on holiday and on the roads.
In addition to personal injuries and employment matters, you can contact Unite Legal Services to get support with conveyancing, will writing, powers of attorney and living wills. We also provide a free legal helpline for members for up to half an hour of free advice on non-work related matters. Call us on 0800 709 007.
Unite members who use Unite Legal Services to pursue a personal injury or employment claim keep 100% of their compensation – whatever the injury, however complex the claim.
