Group legal insurance grows as a worker benefit
New York, UPI. By year end, hundreds of thousands of American workers may gain prepaid group legal insurance, joining group medical plans. Tolley notes current plans cover about 50,000 workers in roughly 1,500 programs, with costs as low as 2–3 cents an hour for basic defense, up to 5–10 cents for more comprehensive options, and requires workers to choose their own lawyers. Exclusions include suits against employers or unions, and existing auto or homeowners policy protections must be used first.
