U.S. Brokers Network is providing updated information on E & O situations during COVID-19.

A pandemic does not mean you are going to have an E & O claim, but it does mean you need to take time to focus energies on your existing clients.

So take time out to review E & O Procedures in your office. Remind your staff that it may take longer to work with a customer to find the correct coverage.  Use rejection forms, reduction of coverage forms and explain by lowering limits may result in financial harm in the event of a 100% total loss.

As we post information, we encourage policyholders to reach out to our 1-800 risk management hotline that is free for all policyholders of Wesco Insurance Company.  You will find the hotline phone number located on your policy cover letter.
