Professional Liability Blog

Many professionals know their liability insurance policies are written on a “claims-made” basis, meaning the policies provide coverage for claims made within the policy period and not when the event occurs. Due to the nature of these policies, those seeking coverage are required to report all known pending or potential claims when submitting applications for new policies or renewing existing ones. A recent ruling from the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri highlights the importance of honest reporting of all pending and potential claims. See N. Am. Capacity Ins.
