What does legal expenses insurance cover?
With the “ADVOCARD 360°-PRIVAT” package, you bundle the areas of private life, work, traffic, and housing. Covered are, among other things, damage claims, employment and rental disputes, traffic administrative offenses, internet and identity protection, plus legal advice around the clock. Coverage per case is unlimited in Europe and up to 1 million € outside Europe.
Are there waiting periods?
As a rule, a waiting period of 3 months applies. There is no waiting period for damage claims, for traffic criminal and administrative-offense law, or for legal advice. For divorce and related matters, the waiting period is one year.
What is gap coverage (Differenzdeckung)?
It ensures a seamless switch. When you move from a previous policy to ADVOCARD, your protection continues without any gap, even if the new policy covers more than the old one. That way, switching providers creates no risk from a coverage gap.
Does it help even without court proceedings?
Yes. You get telephone and online legal advice around the clock plus preventive advice from a lawyer worth up to 1.000 € per year, even without an active legal case. Many questions can be resolved this way before a dispute ever arises.
How much does legal expenses insurance cost?
The premium depends on the modules you choose, your life situation, and the agreed deductible. That is why I do not quote a flat price. We go through your needs together and put together exactly the coverage that fits you.
