Lawyers' Professional Insurance considerations
Taking steps to manage and ultimately reduce your risk of a legal malpractice lawsuit is very important. However, it is equally important to have adequate protection to cover your current, and very real, exposure. Here are some considerations to help determine if your professional liability insurance is meeting your firms needs:
1. Could your personal assets be jeopardized by insufficient insurance limits?
2. Are you aligned with an insurance carrier who gives discounts or charges extra for your areas of practice?
3. Do you maintain a sufficient error and omission insurance limits of liability to allow your law firm greater marketability to prospective clients?
4. Have your law firm's areas of practice changed and become a higher risk?
5. Have the number of attorneys employed by your law firm changed? Do you have sufficient legal malpractice insurance limits to cover them?
6. Do some of your law firms clients require you to carry a certain minimum lawyers professional liability insurance limits?
7. Are you confident your current insurance carrier would defend you should an attorney malpractice claim arise?
8. Does your Firm shop it's legal malpractice coverage every year or just take what ever renewal is offered?
