General Insurance PrinciplesQuestion 199 of 474
A producer promises to add a water back-up endorsement, forgets to order it, and the client later suffers an uncovered basement loss. The producer's exposure is met by:
a.a fidelity bond, which responds to an employee's dishonesty
b.errors and omissions insurance covering the producer
c.the client's homeowners liability coverage under Section II
d.the insurer's reinsurance treaty covering ceded exposures
Explanation
Errors and omissions cover is professional liability for a producer who makes a negligent mistake in advising on or placing coverage, and failing to order a requested endorsement is the classic claim. A fidelity bond answers dishonest acts such as theft by an employee, not carelessness. The client's own liability coverage protects the client against claims by others, not the producer's mistake.
