You get more than an insurance policy
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.
If destruction of evidence gives rise to a professional claim, the loss is covered.
Plaintiff attorneys use this tactic of suing the spouse to build up pressure to settle. Our contract will defend your spouses’ interests as well.
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
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.
Coverage applies anywhere in the world. Many policies require that the claim be brought in the United States in order to trigger coverage.
Many polices exclude coverage for any Independent Contractors. In our contract the Named Insured is covered for vicarious acts of the Independent Contractor.
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.
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
