Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance / Attorney Malpractice Insurance |

|
Specialized in Insurance for Law Firms with claims or hard to place due to areas of practice** |
|
Gaston & Associates, Inc. specializes in providing professional liability insurance programs to attorneys, particularly if if they are ineligible for standard programs, or their insurance has been non-renewed due to losses by standard programs and markets (Bertholen Rowland, Chubb, One Beacon, PLUS, Westport, Monitor, Liberty). Even if your firm has been claim free forever, standard markets have no loyalty and can cancel you.
Don't worry though. Claims occur even to good firms, but standard markets only want to cherry pick the claim free accounts, and will non-renew you if you experience claims. We are skilled at placing accounts that have been non-renewed or canceled due to claims, and those with difficult to place practice areas.
Call me (Wes Henderson) directly at 914-864-1178 to discuss or provide additional information via Coverage Coach, our online resource. Many choices and coverage options confront law firms and sole practitioners with regard to professional liability insurance. Let us help you make sure are properly insured without any dangerous gaps in your coverage. |

Why Should You Have Lawyer's Professional Liability Insurance? |
|
|
|
Lawyers' professional liability insurance, also called attorney malpractice insurance, covers a lawyer for possible negligent oversight occurring within the scope of a lawyers work.
Operating your law practice through an entity, such as a limited liability company, does not protect you if you are sued for legal malpractice. You are liable for your own negligent acts to the same extent as if you rendered the legal services as a sole practitioner.
- Expenses of litigation. Your financial future could be endangered if a judgment is rendered against you and you don’t have the right insurance protection. Without insurance, Win or lose, the cost of litigation can be enormous.
- Personal Asset Protection. Is it worth risking your house and other personal assets?
- Client and reputation protection. If you get sued you might want to settle out of court.
- Client required insurance. Clients sometimes require professional liability insurance, particularly corporations and banks.
- Several lawyer referral services require you to have lawyer professional liability insurance / attorney malpractice insurance.
