Providing Fleet Solutions to optimise operations, cut costs, and keep your business moving.
Road traffic incidents rarely happen at convenient times. A rush hour collision or bridge strike can quickly escalate from a logistical headache into a legal crisis. Fleet operators are under constant pressure to manage risk, meet their legal duties, and protect their teams.
UK law expects fleet operators to plan ahead for foreseeable risks. If you don’t have a clear, immediate response plan that includes legal support, your company could be found liable for failing to act responsibly or proportionately. Legal duties don't wait for incidents to happen.
That’s why we've created Motia Legal to facilitate immediate roadside legal assistance for your business.

With Motia Legal, drivers can speak to a lawyer before giving any account — protecting themselves, their employer, and the company’s reputation from the start.

If a road incident or emergency has happened, drivers should stay calm and follow these steps:
Motia Legal gives you access to specialist roadside support provided by LMP Legal. Motia does not provide legal services. Details of Motia Legal Support can be found in our terms and conditions. If you decide to engage LMP Legal, you will be doing so subject to their terms and conditions at LMP Legal Terms of Business.
Once the initial crisis response ends with the police interview, operators can continue with LMP Legal for ongoing support through the investigation and any prosecution. This can be paid privately or covered by motor legal expenses insurance. LMP Legal work with insurers to match panel rates, so your driver can keep the same lawyer from start to finish.
No. Even a minor bump can turn into a major legal issue if the police are called. Motia Legal ensures your driver gets the right advice straight away, avoiding mistakes that could cause problems later.

Any driver linked to a card with Motia Legal added can use the service — whether they’re a permanent employee, agency driver, or contractor.
