Legal Insurance Information
It is estimated that half of all U.S. Citizens require legal services of some kind each year, and more of them are using prepaid legal insurance plans to cover rising costs. These plans work much like health insurance, and they are frequently offered by employers through payroll deductions or as a part of union dues. Plan prices range from $16-$26 per month, and in return customers get legal assistance with issues ranging from traffic tickets to will-writing.
Close to 19 million people nationwide hold these kind of policies, and that is an increase of nearly 20% from just two years ago. Some companies offering prepaid legal insurance are local to one state, while others are nationwide franchises. Two of the biggest nationwide providers are Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc. and U.S. Legal Services Inc.
