Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance

Since lawyer’s professional liability policy forms are ‘claims made,’ they react very differently than a typical business owner’s policy or homeowner’s policy. Retroactive dates, predecessor firms and many other unique features to the policy forms make them difficult to understand for most general agencies. Since Burns Brokers specializes in malpractice insurance for law firms, we better understand the policy forms of each of our insurance carriers and we can help you better understand them as well. Any changes to your law firm can have a major effect on your insurance. We take the time to speak with you about changes to your law firm, both past and present to ensure the policy provides the coverage features that your law firm needs.

Workers Compensation Insurance

Adhering to your state requirement for workers compensation can be expensive and time consuming. We have several different carriers who we rely on for these policy forms, each having broad coverage features and affordable pricing. Since workers compensation is heavily regulated by the state, each insurance company has a range of rates filed with your specific state. Choosing the right insurance company can be tricky since most insurance policies have similar pricing. We work with carriers who have superior policy forms and claims handling. Even though using a payroll company might seem easier, you may be putting your firm at risk. Having an agency, such as Burns Brokers, act as a filter between your company and the insurance agency, can often be very helpful.

EXCESS

Excess Policy Form

Protecting your company’s assets is important. Obtaining an excess policy form to help ensure that your limits are adequate can be priceless. An excess policy form can help increase the limits of your professional liability policy. Often with larger law firms or law firms handling large value cases, a single professional liability policy form doesn’t provide the adequate coverage needed for the firm. An excess policy form can be an extra layer of coverage to protect the assets of the law firm in the event of a severe loss.

Commercial Automobile Insurance

Commercial Auto Insurance provides financial protection for a business vehicle and its drivers. Having an agent that is knowledgeable in this type of policy is important as there are many different exposures present for a company owned vehicle. Ensuring your policy form contains coverages for hired and non-owned auto coverage is not something we take lightly. Many businesses put themselves at risk by having an employee do a work errand. We can help talk to you about these risks and ensure your business is protected.

BONDS

Notary, ERISA, Crime Bonds

Whether you need a notary bond, ERISA bond or crime bond, we can help. Bonds are sometimes required by the state and, sometimes, they are needed to protect your financial assets. If your company handles large amounts of money each day, your firm may need an employee theft or crime bond since these are often excluded from many of the other policy forms you may have. Protecting your money and assets is one of the most important things you can do for your business.
