Why legal pro­tec­tion makes sense

When is Legal Ex­pens­es Insurance needed?

Whether trouble with the landlord, unfair dismissal or conflicting statements following a road traffic accident – you can suddenly find yourself in a dead-end situation that is almost impossible for you to sort out on your own.

So who is right?

You will generally need to get expert advice. As if a legal dispute wasn't already strenuous enough, the lawyers' fees and administration costs will also quickly add up.

Legal protection is bet­ter than a legal dispute

Lawyers' fees, legal costs, court costs: going to court in Switzerland can turn out to be extremely expensive. And whoever loses the case also has to pay damages.

But either way, you save lots of money with Legal Expenses Insurance – because it can easily happen to any of us. And you can tailor the cover to your exact needs.

Which Legal Expenses Insurance makes sense and when

Just imagine: your neighbour hires a lawyer because she feels disturbed by the "noise" created by your family. Without talking to you about it first. You need professional legal advice to help you resolve this dispute.
