How much does legal expense insurance cost?
Costs can really add up in the event of a legal dispute. To protect yourself against this, you can purchase legal expense insurance. Basic legal expense insurance covers the costs of minor disputes and traffic cases, as well as legal and other expert mediation. But what exactly are the costs of legal expense insurance?
Costs depend on various factors
The cost of legal expense insurance depends on a number of factors:
- Coverage
- Your household composition
- The deductible
- The maximum coverage for external costs
The amount of your insurance premium is influenced, among other things, by your family composition. Are you single with no children? If so, most insurers will charge you a lower premium for your legal expense insurance than they would for a family with children. By specifying your family composition when you take out the policy, everyone in the family is covered, even children who live away from home or parents and in-laws who live with you.
In addition, the costs depend on the deductible you choose. The higher the deductible, the lower your monthly premium will be. Finally, you choose a maximum coverage limit for external costs. In the event of a legal dispute, attorney’s fees may be involved. Many insurers set a limit on the reimbursement of external costs. If you wish to hire your own attorney, the insurer will therefore only reimburse you up to a certain amount. If you want to increase this amount, you’ll pay a higher monthly premium.
What are the average monthly costs?
There are significant differences in the average monthly cost of legal expense insurance. These costs depend entirely on your personal situation. With legal expense insurance, you can choose from various coverage options. The more coverage options you select, the higher the monthly cost will be.
You can choose from various modules, such asConsumer and Housing,Tax and Assets,Work and Income, andTraffic. If you spend a lot of time on the road in your car, for example, you can choose the Traffic module. This ensures you’re covered for disputes that arise while driving. Disputes also frequently arise when buying or selling a home. With the Consumer & Housing module, you’re guaranteed legal assistance for a wide range of consumer matters. Would you like extra peace of mind in case of workplace disputes? Then you can add the Work and Income module. This way, you choose only the modules that apply to you and have control over the final cost of your legal assistance insurance. If you choose just one module, it will naturally be less expensive than if you add three modules.
