Insurance Agent’s Errors & Omissions Coverage Enables Agents
Columbus, Ohio, August 9, 2011: Demotech believes that the independent agent is the consummate insurance professional and should be trusted to select the markets that meet the needs of his or her clientele. Consequently an agent’s E&O carrier needs to provide support by extending coverage for insolvency to any financially stable carrier that appoints the agent.
Starting today, agents can fully utilize their expertise and professionalism without consulting their E&O policy for coverage related to insolvency. The restoration of access to markets selected by agents is both a significant improvement in coverage and an opportunity to create healthy competition for agency business.
Without competition, markets are keenly aware of their pre-selection by an E&O carrier. The imposition of an arbitrary exclusion related to insolvency dampens competition. However, the following E&O products provide coverage whenever an agency utilizes a market that is financially stable:
Allied World Assurance Company – Rick Bersnak, The Buren Insurance Group, Inc., 614-942-1226
Century Surety Company – Mark Harris, Quadrant Insurance Managers, 614-841-1425
NAMICO Insurance Company, Inc. – NAMIC Insurance Agency E&O Sales, 800-336-2642
Gotham Insurance Company – Rick Bersnak, The Buren Insurance Group, Inc., 614-942-1226
