The travel legal expenses insurance cannot be booked separately!
With all corresponding travel insurance policies, it is only taken out in conjunction with the property package - together with liability, accident and optional luggage insurance. Simply select the property package when taking out the policy online.
Travel legal protection insurance protects you abroad from the financial consequences of legal disputes.
The insurance cover applies worldwide for the insured group of persons.
For all those who do not have their own legal protection insurance with foreign protection, taking out legal protection insurance for travel abroad is highly recommended. In many countries of the world it can happen that you need legal help quickly. Unfortunately, one cannot always communicate oneself accordingly or does not speak the language at all. And who is familiar with foreign laws? In this case the legal protection insurance helps.
For example in case of a damage in the car traffic or if you get a threat of punishment abroad (e.g. because of buying a souvenir, which turns out to be a fake etc.). Especially if you are planning to travel to the United States (USA), you should take into account that you can quickly be sued there.
Problems can also occur with air travel , such as a delay of the plane or the loss of luggage. Whether assistance, compensation or ticket reimbursement is available in the event of a delay is governed by the Air Passenger Rights Regulation.
Trouble with the circumstances in the accommodation can possibly lead to legal disputes with the tour operator, as the descriptions and information about the holiday home may not always be formulated in a completely comprehensible way.
Regulations on the reimbursement of legal fees, court costs, deposit costs and legal advice by telephone can be found in the General Conditions for Legal Expenses Insurance (AVB).
The insurance cover applies worldwide for the duration of the respective specified travel period. For exceptional cases, see GCI, including war, strike, lockout or earthquake.
Should a problem - i.e. a case of legal protection - actually arise during a trip, the policyholder can assert the so-called legal protection claim.
To do this, it is best to notify the insurance company immediately and describe the complete situation to the insurance company or the lawyer commissioned. In addition, it is important to provide appropriate evidence and all necessary documents.
