Why does legal protection insurance without a waiting period make sense?
Legal protection insurance without a waiting period gives you peace of mind – because legal problems often arise unexpectedly: A neighborhood dispute escalates, a relationship breaks down unpleasantly, or a delivery is lost. With legal protection insurance that takes effect immediately, you get the support you need for future disputes and legal matters. However, many legal protection insurance policies provide for a waiting or qualifying period. We explain what this is and answer further questions here.
What does waiting or qualifying period mean?
Waiting period or qualifying period refers to a period after the start of the contract during which the insurance coverage does not yet apply for certain risks or benefits.
For legal protection insurance, this means that it only applies to legal issues and disputes that arise after the waiting period has expired. Once the qualifying period has expired, the full scope of insurance coverage applies to the insureds.
An example: You take out new legal protection insurance. Within the first three months, you have a tenancy dispute in connection with your existing rental agreement. In this case, legal protection insurance with a waiting period of three months would not cover the costs of this legal dispute.
