Legal disputes are becoming more and more common in today’s society.
Understanding your rights and getting access to legal advice can be costly, time-consuming and confusing.  Often, these things will prevent you from pursuing or defending your legal rights.   Resolving common legal issues, such as being faced with a traffic ticket that you believe was wrongfully assessed, or experiencing workplace discrimination, is sometimes only possible with proper legal counsel.      

Merit can help by providing affordable access to legal advice, assistance and cost coverage. 
Legal expense insurance is a unique coverage that helps individuals and business owners if they have a dispute with another party.  Policy holders will have access to professional legal counsel and representation, along with the peace of mind of knowing that the costs of pursuing legal action will be covered.  Your policy includes the following coverages:

  • Unlimited access to a legal advice hotline
  • Reasonable coverage of legal costs incurred in pursuing/defending a claim
  • Appointment of lawyers and expert witnesses
  • Court cost coverage and much more
