Your current professional liability insurance policy will expire July 1, 2025 at 12.01 a.m.. So, if you are aware of an issue which might possibly, at some point in the future, give rise to an insurance claim against you, report it now.
Why report potential claims now?
Your new policy only covers claims if you had no knowledge of the claim or potential claim before July 1, 2025 and could not have reasonably foreseen that a claim might arise. That means if you want coverage and are aware of a problem or have a file keeping you up at night, report before July 1, 2025 when the current policy runs out.
What should you report?
Report all files that have the potential to turn into a claim where:
- you think you might have made an error or are concerned about a file;
or, - someone is making allegations – even unmeritorious allegations – against you.
How should you report?
