Legal assistance insurance: an absolute must

There is always the possibility of a dispute after an accident.
Suppose that

  • You do not agree on who caused the damage and who is liable for the damage
  • You suffer a loss, damage or injury and the liable party cannot or does not want to compensate you for it
  • You are dissatisfied with the repair to your car
  • You were wrongly fined

In that case, our legal assistance insurance team, Defendo, is there to advise and help you.
Defendo always strives for an out-of-court settlement. If that cannot be achieved, the lawyer of your choice will defend you in court.
The important thing is that Defendo will make every effort to recover your loss or damage from the other party. Defendo will pay up to 100,000 euros to do this. And if the person who has to pay your loss does not have the means to do so, Defendo will cover up to 12,500 euros.
