What this organisation provides
Absa legal insurance covers criminal matters (including bail and trial defence), civil, labour and family matters. All plans include free telephonic legal and labour advice.
Absa lists five plans:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Premium | R250 pm; up to R278 000 litigation cover; no waiting period; bail cover up to R5 000 per member per year |
| Gold | R169 pm; R165 000 litigation cover; bail cover up to R2 500 per member per year |
| Comprehensive | R130 pm; R136 000 litigation cover |
| Essential | R103 pm; R90 000 litigation cover |
| Core | R70 pm; R69 000 litigation cover |
Every plan except Premium has a three-month waiting period, so a new policy on those plans will not cover a matter straight away.
