Legal Defense Gap

Sometimes, not all costs are covered by your company’s legal defense insurance, and that’s where legal defense gap insurance comes in. Chapman Insurance Group can make sure you’re always covered, no matter what.

It doesn’t take much time for legal costs to exhaust your policy limits - which then leaves you no choice but to pay out-of-pocket - and those prices can get steep. To make sure you’re protected against claims and legal expenses, you should make sure that the policy includes gap coverage, so it is guaranteed to cover:
Defense-inside-the-limit

Defense inside the limit

Typically these fees include attorney fees, court costs, investigation, and filing legal papers.
Defense-outside-the-limit

Defense outside the limit

Legal defense gap insurance will also pay for defense outside the limit, which allows funds to remain that can be awarded to pay settlement fees.
Here are a few benefits to having legal defense gap insurance:
  • You get coverage even when the lawsuit is denied or excluded from legal defense coverage.
  • More exclusions are added to policies every day, legal fees continue to rise, insured people are denied coverage, and legal defense gap insurance solves these dilemmas.
  • You get peace of mind that if there’s a denial of coverage or an exclusion within your case, you are still provided with a legal defense.
