Legal-cost insurance bill clears Senate vote on Friday
Illinois may become the 19th state to permit legal expense insurance if Gov. James R. Thompson signs the bill. Critics warn it could foster abuse by lawyers and insurers while supporters say it helps individuals cover costs for cases like divorce, tax matters, and other legal needs. The measure, attached to a package of arson and fraud proposals, would require the insurance department to share information for detecting arson, forward fraud cases to prosecutors, and set rates in high risk areas through the FAIR plan.
