Legal Protection and Lawyer: Essential Insurance in the Event of Legal Action

Legal expenses guarantee is a crucial insurance that helps cover attorney fees and other legal expenses. Often included in home or automobile insurance, or linked to bank cards, it offers significant financial coverage in the context of disputes.

Legal Protection Coverage

This insurance covers not only disputes brought to court, but also preliminary steps such as attempts at conciliation carried out by the lawyer, the costs of the bailiff's report, and the costs of expertise. It also covers the first consultation with a lawyer according to the scale provided.

Importance of Early Subscription

It is essential to take out this insurance before a dispute arises. Opening a file before the lawyer begins the necessary steps, such as sending a letter of formal notice, is also crucial.

Choice of Lawyer and Fee Agreement

The choice of lawyer remains free for the client. It is recommended that you select an attorney experienced in the area relevant to your dispute. After the first consultation, a fee agreement must be signed, defining the fees between the lawyer and the client.

Opening a File with Legal Protection

After choosing a lawyer and consulted, the client opens a file with legal protection by contacting their insurance. The opening of the file depends on whether the insurance company handles the dispute, depending on the subject matter and the type of dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Qu’est-ce que la protection juridique et comment m’aide-t-elle en justice ?

La protection juridique est une assurance qui prend en charge les frais d’avocat, d’expertise et de procédure en cas de litige. Elle est souvent incluse dans les contrats habitation ou auto. Elle permet d’accéder à la justice sans avancer les frais.

Combien coûte une action en justice sans protection juridique ?

Les frais peuvent varier de 1 000 à 10 000 € selon la complexité : honoraires d’avocat (150-300 €/h), frais d’huissier, d’expertise et de justice. La protection juridique couvre ces frais selon un plafond (ex: 10 000 € par litige).

Puis-je souscrire une protection juridique après un litige ?

Non, la protection juridique doit être souscrite avant la naissance du litige. Les assureurs excluent les sinistres en cours. Il est donc important d’anticiper.

Que faire si mon assurance refuse de prendre en charge mon litige ?

Vous pouvez contester le refus par lettre recommandée. Si le refus persiste, saisissez le médiateur de l’assurance. Un avocat peut vous aider à faire valoir vos droits.

Quels sont les délais pour obtenir une prise en charge ?

L’assurance doit répondre sous 15 jours à 1 mois. En cas d’urgence, vous pouvez avancer les frais et demander un remboursement ultérieur. Prévoyez un délai de 2 à 3 mois pour la mise en place.
