Simple Steps to Legal Protection on the Road

Getting legal protection for your commercial driving career is straightforward with RightsVantage. Our streamlined process connects you with qualified attorneys who understand transportation law, giving you peace of mind whether you’re facing a routine citation or a serious legal challenge.

Step 1: Choose Your Protection Plan

Select the Commercial Drivers Legal Plan that fits your needs:

Basic CDLP – Covers you and your spouse for moving violations, DOT citations, license issues, tragic accident representation, and property/injury collection up to $2,000.

Super CDLP – Includes everything in Basic plus family coverage for dependents (children up to age 23 if full-time students, up to age 21 if living at home), IRS audit services, will preparation, and additional legal protections.

Both plans provide the same core driver protections with predictable monthly costs instead of expensive hourly attorney fees.

Step 2: Complete Your Enrollment

Your membership enrollment takes just minutes to complete. You’ll provide basic information about yourself and select your preferred payment method. Once enrolled, you’ll receive your membership number and welcome materials via email within 24 hours.

Important: Your benefits become active on the 11th day after enrollment. Legal matters occurring before this date are considered pre-existing conditions and won’t be covered.

Step 3: Set Up Your Digital Access

After enrollment, create your member account at access.legalshield.com using your membership number. This portal gives you access to:

  • Account management and updates
  • Free legal forms and documents
  • Member resources and guides
  • Contact information for your Provider Law Firm

Download the free LegalShield mobile app from the App Store or Google Play for convenient access to services and the ability to submit violations directly from your phone.

Step 4: When You Need Legal Help

For Traffic Violations: Call your Provider Law Firm at 1-800-634-2391 within three business days of receiving any citation. You can also use the mobile app to “snap and submit” your ticket directly. Your Provider Law Firm will locate a qualified attorney in the area where you received the ticket.

For License Issues: Contact your Provider Law Firm immediately if you’re denied a license or if your CDL is suspended, cancelled, or revoked. You’ll receive up to 2.5 hours of attorney time to help resolve the situation.

For Serious Accidents: If you’re charged with manslaughter, vehicular homicide, or negligent homicide following a traffic accident, contact your Provider Law Firm immediately for criminal defense representation.

For DOT Violations: Your Provider Law Firm can defend you against specific DOT violations including overweight citations, missing documentation, equipment violations, and other regulatory issues.

Step 5: Your Attorney Takes Action

Once you contact your Provider Law Firm, they assign a qualified attorney familiar with transportation law and the local court system where your case will be heard. Your attorney will:

  • Review your case and the circumstances
  • Communicate with courts, prosecutors, or administrative agencies on your behalf
  • Represent you in court proceedings when required
  • Work to minimize the impact on your driving record and career
  • Keep you informed throughout the process

Remember: While legal representation is covered, you remain responsible for fines, court costs, and any penalties imposed by the court.
