ARAG shortlisted at the 2011 Personal Injury Awards

ARAG is pleased to announce that we have been shortlisted at this year’s Personal Injury Awards in the ‘Insurance Provider of the Year’ category. Having previously won this award in 2009 we are keeping our fingers crossed for 24 November when the awards will be held at The Riverbank Park Plaza in London.

ARAG’s existing After-the-Event (ATE) product is known for offering flexibility and quality to ensure that customers’ needs are met and hopefully exceeded. In addition to this, ARAG also look for and implement innovative ideas and in 2011 we created and launched a new product – Recourse Options.

Our original product Recourse provides a standard limit of indemnity covering third party costs and disbursements, whereas Recourse Options is tailored to the specific indemnity required to cover third party costs, disbursements and own sides costs in non-injury cases. Some of the key features include:

• Limits of indemnity to meet the specific risk


• Cover by an A-rated insurer


• Contingent premium – the premium is deferred until conclusion and only payable upon a successful conclusion


• Top-up cover to a Before-the-Event policy


• Cover for cases conducted under a partial or full CFA


• Premium shortfall cover


• Bespoke staged premiums

These are backed by a passionate team and a bespoke approach which allows them to be set up as scheme arrangements or one-off cases.

There is also an easy-to-use online policy application and administration system designed to make life easier for our solicitor partners. This is currently in the process of being developed to enable solicitors to update cases from their own system rather than having to log in to gATEway as well as increasing its scope to offer post-issue schedules for RTA cases.
