What does my legal expenses insurance cover abroad?
Some insurers, for certain disputes, offer coverage only in the Netherlands and not throughout Europe. When comparing legal expenses insurance, it is necessary to pay close attention to this. Many disputes will actually take place in the Netherlands. Examples are disputes concerning work and income, such as about an employment contract and in the case of pension claims.

Disputes abroad
Some disputes that do (or can) occur abroad are named below.
Accidents
The accident coverage of your legal expenses insurance is often valid throughout Europe and in some cases you even have worldwide coverage. Here you are not only insured for accidents by car, but also as a (moped) cyclist or pedestrian.
Consumer Affairs
Are you buying something abroad or renting a car over which a dispute arises with the rental company? It varies by insurer whether these disputes are covered. One insurer covers this within Europe or the European Union. Some insurers offer no coverage at all for this abroad.
Second home abroad
Do you own a second home abroad and a conflict arises about it? It is not always possible to call on your legal assistance insurance. Usually the coverage is limited to within the Netherlands. It is possible that insurers cover conflicts within Europe, but only if you use the house yourself and do not rent it out.
It is important to consider what the best coverage is for you when purchasing legal expenses insurance. Do you often travel abroad or even own property abroad? Pay close attention to the coverage, including the additional modules.
