FAQ's
What is DAS Legal Protection Insurance in Canada?
Legal protection insurance (also called legal expense insurance) helps cover the cost of legal services and proceedings. It gives policyholders access to legal advice and can cover expenses related to legal disputes in areas like employment, property, contracts, and more.
Is legal protection insurance worth it?
It can be very cost-effective. A single legal consultation or case can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Legal protection insurance provides peace of mind and easier access to justice for everyday legal issues.
Can I choose my own lawyer?
Yes, but it depends on the insurer and the policy. Some insurers have a panel of approved lawyers, and you'll be required to use one of them. Others may allow you to choose your own lawyer, but they may only reimburse up to a certain hourly rate or need to approve the lawyer beforehand.
Is legal advice included in the policy?
Yes, most legal protection insurance policies include unlimited access to legal advice via a toll-free helpline. This is often one of the most used and valuable features of the policy.
What happens if my case is not successful?
Will I have to repay the insurance company? No, if your claim is covered and accepted, the insurer pays the legal costs up to your policy limits, even if you lose the case. However, if your claim is rejected (e.g., it’s outside the scope of coverage), you would be responsible for the costs.
