What Our Members Say

"When we were initially looking for E&O coverage many years ago I had the attitude that we really did not need anything other than the minimum most bare bones coverage in the marketplace, because, “My agency isn’t going to do anything wrong or unethical, so why would we need the best insurance?  

Since then I have seen many well meaning agents and our agency subjected to frivolous allegations, and complaints and yes even times when we have screwed things up.  

"Having competent legal representation provided by our coverage with first dollar defense has mitigated our exposure and defended us against all allegations.  

We have been approached to change carriers and providers and it just is not worth the risk to our financial future to not have the best policy covering our agency.  For us that is the program provided through IIABCal.”
