Biker Insurance Policy

For a relatively small annual fee typically in the range of approximately £80.00, this policy will cover the holder of the policy up to £50,000.00 in total for legal expenses per annum. This is tremendous value for money and we are one of the few firms who are allowed to represent the clients of Columbus Legal.

Kinloch Lawyers would recommend to our clients to take such a policy out and thereafter forget about expense of legal costs. As a client, if you are immobile at home or recovering in hospital we can visit you.

Discounts available to British Bikers Association (BBA) members and client`s buying parts , and vehicles from Appleyard cars in the north of England.

Please contact us if you would like more information on Scottish RTA, accidents etc.
