How Our Forensic Expert Clients Benefit

• Advice in errors and omissions insurance for forensic scientists
• An accurate quote for the CORRECT coverage
• Savings- between 30-50% in most cases

If you are among this group of professionals, there is an 84% chance your current insurance policy will not cover you if you are sued for testimony. There is also a 93% chance you are paying too much. Many forensic professionals have the wrong type of Forensic Insurance and are completely unaware.

Contact ECBM today and find out if you are one of the many people in this category who have the wrong type of Forensic Insurance.

WHAT MAKES OUR POLICY UNIQUE

EVIDENCE SPOILATION

If destruction of evidence gives rise to a professional claim, the loss is covered.

SPOUSAL EXTENSION

Plaintiff attorneys use this tactic of suing the spouse to build up pressure to settle. Our contract will defend your spouses’ interests as well.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

Another fairly new tactic is to go after the credentials of the expert witness. We include up to $15,000 of additional expense coverage to pay for this response. The client can buy more limit if they choose

EXCESS LEGAL COVERAGE

For $400.00 of Additional Premium you can purchase an additional $1,000,000 of legal defense coverage. We offer this at a low cost for two reasons: a) litigation is the most likely event; b) The claim experience is so good that we can offer the million at a discounted number.

WORLDWIDE COVERAGE

Coverage applies anywhere in the world. Many policies require that the claim be brought in the United States in order to trigger coverage.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

Many polices exclude coverage for any Independent Contractors. In our contract the Named Insured is covered for vicarious acts of the Independent Contractor.

PERSONAL INJURY

This allows for defense against claims coming from Defamation, Libel, Slander, Product Disparagement, Trade Libel, Misappropriation of any name or likeness for commercial advantage, Invasion of privacy, False arrest, Detention, or Imprisonment.

PAY 'ON BEHALF OF'

This allows the insurance company to pay for the investigation and defense, instead of indemnification wording which allows the insurance company to merely reimburse the insured for expenses incurred
