The benefits we offer you

In partnership with Coop Rechtsschutz, Helvetia offers comprehensive support for you and your family in legal matters. Private legal protection insurance provides worldwide cover for you, e.g. as a pedestrian, cyclist, passenger, contractual party, consumer, patient or Internet user.

Helvetia pays:

  • the fees for your lawyer and any experts whose opinions are required.
  • court and procedural costs.
  • disputes with insurance companies, health insurers and pension funds.
  • legal disputes arising from infringement of copyright, name and trademark rights.
  • bail advances (as an advance payment).
  • counterparty compensation.
  • the cost of appearing before a court abroad.
  • legal disputes relating to cybercrime such as cyber-bullying, blackmail or credit card misuse.
Get up to 20% combined discount.

If you take out two products (household contents, private liability, travel insurance, building or legal protection insurance), you will receive a 5% combined discount. For each additional product we will grant you a further 5% discount. You can thus benefit from a combination discount of up to 20% on your entire policy.

Increase your cover to give you the extra protection you need.

No small print: when does a legal protection insurance policy pay out, and when does it not?

Your insurance pays out if ...

… your dispute with a neighbour ends up in court.

… you need legal advice in your capacity as an employee (legal protection insurance for employees).

… an online order you have paid for in advance fails to arrive and the dealer refuses to accept responsibility.

… unauthorized persons use your Internet domain, causing you damage.

… you are involved in a legal dispute after a car accident (legal protection insurance for motorists).

… your landlord fails to meet obligations towards you (legal protection insurance for tenants).

Your insurance does not pay out if ...

… you start a legal dispute with your spouse. Disputes between people insured under the same policy are excluded.

… you have deliberately committed a crime.

… the dispute arises before the insurance is concluded or before expiry of the three-month waiting period.
