For many Americans contacting an attorney is one of the most stressful things they encounter in their daily lives. First, there’s finding one to trust. And second, there’s figuring out how to pay for the high hourly rate to use one.
Legal plans are designed to give employees affordable access to legal help and make it easy for them to find attorneys they can trust. Like a health insurance plan where individuals can choose their doctor from a network or outside of a network, a legal plan gives members access to attorneys of their choice, in or out of network. But unlike health insurance, there are no copays, deductibles or waiting periods, as long as the member is using an in-network attorney for a covered service.
In this white paper we will look at a significant cause of stress and financial hardship for your employees – legal issues. Research conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of Hyatt Legal Plans, found that many Americans are not prepared to handle legal issues and would be interested in legal plans as a way to help them save money and reduce their stress about financial issues.
