Law Practice Management Enews Tip
Checked Your Malpractice Carrier's Rating Lately?
Attorneys, be sure you know the financial strength and size of
your malpractice insurance carrier. If you are carrying $10M of
coverage and your carrier only has $10M of assets, you could be
flirting with danger. Give them a call and ask about their current
assets and reserves (It wouldn't hurt to do this twice a year.)
