Insurance Agents E&O

Our U.S. RiskPros division provides insurance professionals with comprehensive Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage designed to address their exposures in designing and securing a risk management and insurance program for clients. E&O exposures include allegations from clients of having inadequate coverage or no coverage at all after a loss (think of all the flood claims in the aftermath of major storms and the uninsured who look to their agents for recourse), property claims involving replacement cost coverage vs. actual cash value disputes, confusion over coinsurance penalties and the impact on commercial property coverage, and disputes over additional insured coverage, among others. In many cases, it’s an issue of he-said, she-said, but the cost to defend such lawsuits can be significant. Having the right coverage with the right carrier is key. That’s where our Insurance Agents E&O coverage comes in.
