No cover in the event of an ongoing or foreseen conflict

Unfortunately, legal expenses insurance does not insure you against legal conflicts that arose before the insurance took effect. For example, you are not covered if colleagues told you about a scheduled reorganisation before you took out the insurance policy. You are also not covered if you only take out an insurance after you have been involved in a traffic accident or you get into an argument after you are already divorced. An ongoing or foreseen conflict is therefore not covered by the insurance policy.

Your conflict not insured but still require legal advice?

It can happen. Your conflict may not be covered by your selected modules, or your conflict might have arisen before the effective date of the insurance policy, or you may not have legal expenses insurance. If you would still like legal assistance, you can call ARAG for advice during office hours. ARAG will be happy to help you. Read about the options under 'Frequently asked questions' on this page.
