Differences between the two products are described below:
Legal insurance products like Juripro are primarily designed to cover legal fees and costs needed to defend individuals in everyday disputes. Legal insurance provides you with financial assistance so you can retain an attorney to advise you, take legal action, and, if necessary, represent you in court. Although by extension legal insurance also includes a telephone legal assistance component, it is still insurance coverage with all that entails, including compensation. It is offered at a minimal cost as a supplement to your home, business, or farm insurance policy.
Telephone legal assistance services give you access to legal advice from an attorney in most fields of law over the phone. It usually includes an unlimited number of calls. Most often, this service is offered at no charge if you have an auto or home insurance policy with the insurer. It provides insureds with telephone legal assistance even if they haven’t taken out a legal insurance policy. Telephone assistance does not offer compensation; it only allows you to obtain legal information.
