Process with Merkur legal expenses insurance
Free initial consultation
The first step in handling a legal matter with Merkur legal expenses insurance is a free, non-binding initial consultation. This can conveniently take place via video conference or telephone. This means Merkur policyholders can always speak with an expert at short notice.
As part of the initial consultation for Merkur policyholders, we clarify whether we can take on the case. Our attorneys have a broad range of specialisations. However, there are cases we cannot cover. In such cases, we will be happy to recommend another specialist.
Power of Attorney
In the next step, we will send you the power of attorney. It already includes the note that, as the first action, a coverage request will be submitted to Merkur and that we will wait for the confirmation of cover before commencing any work that is subject to a fee.
Request for coverage
After receiving the power of attorney and the initial information about the legal matter, we submit a coverage request to Merkur legal expenses insurance based on this information. This service is also free of charge for Merkur policyholders, even if legal expenses cover is declined.
Confirmation of coverage
If cover is confirmed, Merkur legal expenses insurance will cover the costs of the dispute to the extent provided for in the insurance contract. Often there are small deductibles or a limitation of reimbursement to out-of-court or court costs.
Billing
Where possible, billing is handled directly with Merkur Insurance, so that policyholders do not have to submit reimbursement applications.
