Pet peeves

I seldom respond to articles, but Matthew Marrone’s article, “When client dissatisfaction moves to E&O claims” (AA&B 10/09) addresses one of my pet peeves as an agent. In a perfect world, we could report all potential incidents that would result in a claim; but because of the subjective nature in the rating on professional policies, it is impossible not to consider future cost ramifications.

My clients who purchase this coverage are at risk on these claims made policies. It’s about time that the trigger of coverage be made much more specific, i.e., any written demand for coverage so both agents and clients can feel more confident in their policies that they pay thousands of dollar for each year.
