What are the advantages of legal expenses insurance for my company?

A legal conflict can be very complex and the legal costs can mount up considerably. As an entrepreneur, you may be faced with litigation costs, lawyer's fees and costs of independent experts. This is always annoying, but can be particularly challenging if you are a starting entrepreneur. In that case, you often do not have a large buffer to absorb such costs.

In addition, prevention is always better than cure. Unfortunately, a legal conflict cannot always be prevented. Especially as an entrepreneur, you have to deal with many different parties, which makes a conflict more likely. If you take out legal assistance insurance for your company, you can be sure that (part of) the costs will be reimbursed. You are also assured of expert legal advice. Legal assistance can help to solve a conflict, or sometimes even prevent it. That is why it can do no harm to take out legal assistance insurance for your company.

What is insured?

With a legal assistance insurance for your company, a number of matters are insured as standard. The standard coverage consists of:

  • Business or professional practice

Conflicts may arise concerning your business operations, for example if your company grows, if you enter into a partnership or if new activities are started. With a legal assistance insurance you are insured for legal help in case of conflicts that arise due to the activities of your company.

  • Debt collection

You are also insured for collection assistance. If, for example, a client or customer refuses to pay an invoice, your insurer will take over the collection process from you. This way you don't have to go after the payment yourself.

  • Traffic

You will receive legal assistance if you wish to recover damages and personal injuries incurred in traffic. The legal assistance insurance also offers assistance in criminal cases.

You will receive legal assistance in disputes concerning employment law, insurances, permits, environment, criminal and disciplinary cases, real estate used by you, agreements with suppliers and customers or buyers who do not pay. In addition, you can take out a number of supplementary coverages:

  • Legal assistance for motor vehicles

This additional cover provides legal assistance in the event of a dispute about motor vehicles used for business purposes.

  • Legal aid for individuals

A business legal assistance insurance can be extended with a private legal assistance insurance. With this additional coverage you and your family will receive legal assistance in case of a conflict concerning a private matter.

What is not insured?

There are a number of situations in which legal assistance insurance does not provide cover. With most insurers this is the case in the following situations:

  • If you report a conflict too late
  • In case of intent and existing conflicts
  • Conflicts not related to the normal or customary activities of your business or profession
  • Conflicts about taxes, such as a tax assessment, levies, import duties or excise duties

There are also a number of standard exclusions from coverage. These items generally apply to every insurance policy. For example, you will not be covered if you commit fraud when taking out the insurance or claiming damages. There is also no cover if you suffer damage as a result of intent, recklessness, criminal or criminal acts. Finally, molestation is also excluded from coverage as standard.
