TORONTO — March 26, 2015 — Creechurch Underwriters, a leading underwriter of specialty insurance in Canada, today announces its newest product offering, Legal Expense Insurance.
Creechurch’s Legal Expense coverage is available today and will be offered with all new and renewal quotes.
“Statistically, 33% of Canadians over the age of 19 will need legal advice at least once a year. Unfortunately, the enormous cost of legal fees makes access to justice prohibitive.” said Francine Armel, Chief Underwriting Officer of Creechurch Underwriters. “With premiums as low as a few hundred dollars we can now offer our policyholders the peace of mind that they can access the legal system without incurring undue hardship,” added Armel.
Legal Expense Insurance provides coverage for the legal fees and expenses incurred by a lawyer for specified matters covered by the policy. These matters are not generally covered by professional liability/malpractice insurance or commercial liability insurance. Matters include a variety of areas that relate to the particular profession and/or business, such as:
?Criminal charges
?Breach of contract
?Regulatory issues
?Employment disputes
?Billing investigations
?Personal Injury
Legal Expense Insurance policyholders will have access to a toll-free hotline that will offer complimentary Telephone Legal Advice (TLA). Creechurch has partnered with Sterlon Underwriting, Canada’s leading expert in Legal Expense Insurance to provide unlimited, instant access to a lawyer whenever immediate advice is needed.
The benefits of TLA include:
?Instant telephone advice and assistance
