LawGuard Gold Claim Scenarios

Background: After years of saving you decide to renovate your kitchen. You receive several quotes, then hire a contractor who promises to complete the project in six weeks. You pay a deposit and anticipate a smooth process.

Problem Arises: Six weeks pass and the work is nowhere near completion. Your contractor misses deadlines and the quality of work is subpar. Furthermore, the contractor demands more payment beyond the agreed upon budget, citing unforeseen complications.

Action Taken: Concerned and frustrated, you check your LawGuard policy that you purchased earlier in the year and see that you have coverage for contractor disputes. You call LawGuard’s toll-free number and confirm coverage with their customer care representative who reminds you of your power to choose any attorney you want, so you choose the attorney your family has trusted for years.

Outcome: Through your attorney representation, the contractor agrees to refund the excess payments and cover the cost of hiring a new contractor. Your attorney bills you $1,700 and you submit that bill along with a claim form to LawGuard. After applying the $200 deductible, LawGuard sends you a check for $1,500 in under 10 business days, and you are able to pay the attorney.

Conclusion: LawGuard provides you with the necessary resources to address your contractor dispute without bearing the full burden of attorney costs. You are empowered to enforce your legal rights and achieve a fair resolution.
