ARAG Legal Insurance
What is legal insurance?
Legal insurance covers the cost of working with a Network Attorney— just like health insurance covers the cost of visiting a doctor.
Why do you need legal insurance?
Life is full of legal situations – many you might not even realize are legal until it’s too late. With legal insurance, you can rest easy knowing that when you experience a legal event, you’re covered. ARAG legal insurance connects you with a local, knowledgeable Network Attorney of your choice. And 100% of the Network Attorney fees are paid in full after you pay a small deductible.
Some of the most commonly used, covered legal matters include:
- Creating a will, trust and other estate planning documents.
- Fighting traffic tickets and other moving violations that could result in losing your license.
- Buying or selling a home.
- Handling debt collection issues.
- Dealing with a neighbor dispute or landlord issue.
- Defending your minor child who gets in trouble with the law.
When the average hourly attorney rate is $343,[i] having legal insurance can save you thousands of dollars – even if you only use it once! In fact, our members save an average of $1,945 per legal issue.[ii]
With ARAG legal insurance, there are no usage limits. Whether you need an attorney once or six times in a year, we’re there for you. And there’s no waiting period – as soon as you sign up for the plan, you’re covered and can get connected with an attorney.

ARAG Legal Insurance covers most or all of the cost of working with an attorney within ARAG’s network of legal professionals – just like how health insurance covers most of what you pay for medical cost and doctor visits.
