Why take out legal assistance insurance?

Anyone who uses a vehicle on public roads could one day come into contact with the court:

  • You may have to appear in court following a speeding ticket, for example.
  • You were involved in an accident and there is a dispute with the counterparty about who was at fault. It comes to a lawsuit because it’s not possible to work it out together.
  • You have a contractual dispute with your garage owner about a repair to your car.

This type of legal disputes can cost you a lot of time and resources. With a legal assistance insurance policy, you can rely on the advice of specialised lawyers and a financial compensation for the court costs.

What claims are covered by a legal assistance insurance policy?

Legal assistance insurance provides guidance in legal proceedings and covers the associated costs:

  • the fees of your lawyer (whom you can choose)
  • the fees from experts
  • the legal costs

To what should you pay attention when taking out a legal assistance insurance policy?

You can take out a legal assistance policy as an additional cover to your car insurance, or as a separate policy. The most appropriate formula for you depends on various factors. Our experts look forward to helping you make the best choice.
