Claims Overview

Our claims professionals are committed to fostering strong working relationships with policyholders, outside counsel and brokers to successfully resolve claims.

All of our claims professionals have higher education degrees and law degrees. Between them they have extensive legal experience, including trial work in private practice, mediation of complex multi-party litigation, and management of claims occurring across the U.S. Such claims may arise in both state and federal court, and may include securities class actions under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, post-merger claims, lawyers' professional-liability claims, and employment-liability claims.

Each of our claims professionals is highly qualified to handle any Directors and Officers or Professional liability claim.

We provide continuity of service over the years: one claims professional is generally assigned to each policyholder, and maintains a relationship with that policyholder. Our claims professionals respond to every claim reported to the company, and form an effective team with the policyholder and outside counsel to develop defense strategies, evaluate exposure, and contain costs.

Because all our policies are "claims-made," we strongly urge policyholders to read and follow the notice requirements of their policies in order to preserve coverage. It is very important to provide immediate written notice when a claim is made against a policyholder, or when the policyholder becomes aware of a circumstance that could reasonably give rise to a claim under the policy.
