Thumbnail image for 3-employer.jpg

The national media has given a lot of attention to the health insurance exchanges of the Affordable Care Act, but this is only one change in the way insurance benefits are being administered. There have always been insurance exchanges but now they are expanding out to other benefits. Regions Insurance for example is establishing a private exchange, Regions TruSelect, that will help employers provide an online benefits marketplace to employees. This is more than just health coverage and a lot of other options are included. We strongly suggest that a voluntary benefit for legal assistance be offered on any insurance exchange.

A Superior Benefit to Offer

Group legal plan benefits have always been well received by employees. These allow a plan member to have access to a network of highly competent attorneys. The kind of services that a voluntary benefit plan member can get includes the drafting of wills and powers of attorney, help with consumer complaints, advice on immigration and domestic matters, and contract interpretation. There are also other qualities of a standard group legal plan that provide considerable assistance. Countrywide Pre- Paid Legal Services has the Personal Legal Protector Plan which can be offered as a voluntary benefit for legal services. Included to what already has been mentioned are unlimited phone calls to an attorney, correspondence and telephone calls made by the attorney on behalf of the voluntary benefit plan member, and advice on small claims court matters.

Countrywide maintains a network of attorneys nationwide. No voluntary benefit plan member has to contact an attorney hundreds of miles away. We make certain that legal advice can be obtained from a local source. We insist on high levels of customer service in any Countrywide benefit plan, and we expect the same standards if any of our products are part of an insurance exchange. No one should be made to feel like just a case file. No matter who that person is, he or she will be treated as if they were the only clients the attorney has.

A warranty is meant to sweeten the deal. Whenever a consumer goes shopping for major appliances, he or she can expect the sales associate to suggest a warranty as part of the transaction. These provide service and possible replacement if the product becomes defective. It seems to be a very common sense extra, and many people will purchase one. The difficulty arises when the warranty has to be enforced and the company ignores it, stating that the necessary conditions have not been met. Anyone who has a voluntary benefit plan for legal services can get the help needed to have a warranty respected.

The Trouble Is in the Details

Warranty language contains a number of caveats and conditions. These are part of the document to prevent a situation where a buyer arbitrarily invokes the warranty. It is understandable that a company would not want to provide a service without justification, but sometimes the company representative dealing with the issue will refuse to honor a valid warranty. This person may also assume that the buyer does not fully understand the language, making it easier to deny service. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a group legal plan that can help. The Personal Legal Protector Plan allows an individual access to a network of attorneys. An experienced lawyer from the area will be there to help the voluntary benefit plan member with any issue that involves a warranty. This legal expert will take a look at the warranty and determine whether or not a plan member has sufficient grounds to have the warranty honored. The Countrywide voluntary benefit plan permits legal communication service. An attorney can send a letter or make telephone calls on behalf of plan member to the issuing company. It ordinarily happens that such communication resolves the difficulty, and the terms of the warranty are enforced.

Merchants who are hesitant to honor a warranty normally change their minds when they discover that the customer has group legal plan protection that includes a veteran attorney.

The Right Use of Finesse

A good lawyer has excellent negotiating skills. Dealing with the merchant is rarely a shouting match, and the lawyer can explain why the warranty has to be legally enforced. A plan member may have a lot of questions, and a Countrywide group legal plan permits unlimited telephone calls to a prospering attorney. Our legal experts provide service with a very sensitive touch. They will explain the full meaning of the warranty patiently, and answer any questions. No voluntary benefit plan member is ever made to feel like he or she is just a case file. Everyone receives superior customer service from any of our attorneys.

Legal Distractions can remain outside194kgibbkior8jpg.jpg

Managers know that keeping employees focused on the tasks at hand is the foundation of productivity. Supervisors will spend a fair amount of time making sure that office disagreements don’t erupt into major conflicts that disrupt workflow. The problem happens when employees decide not to keep their personal problems away from the office. A number of situations can arise where employees get distracted by issues from home. These can be legal battles that include custody rights, contract disputes, family immigration issues, or consumer complaints. Most supervisors are not attorneys and shouldn’t even try to address these problems. If a company has a group legal plan it can help keep domestic issues outside.

Attorneys know the true meaning of the words

It is popularly known as “legalese” and it can read like a riddle wrapped inside a puzzle. The language of the law can be very confusing for the average consumer. So many phrases are in Latin and these are not very easy to understand. It is a reason why many are very hesitant about signing any contract or other legal document. They are very afraid they are signing something that obligates more than expected and leads to litigation. Those who are covered by a group legal plan don’t have to try making sense out of everything all by themselves. There is a translator available in the form of a network attorney.

Making Sense of It All
