Miscellaneous Professional Liability

Home » Professional Liability » Miscellaneous Professional Liability

Miscellaneous Professional Liability does not need to be a one size fits all solution. Our AdmiralPro MISAF coverage provides a flexible and comprehensive solution that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of a miscellaneous professional.

Our MISAF provides significant upgrades, while maintaining the broad coverage language and definitions you’ve come to expect from Admiral. Combined with our first class and creative underwriters, we’re able to offer you a form that can adapt to the ever changing MPL landscape.

Check out our underwriters favorite form updates, or review some of our recent hits:

MPL Form Updates

Insuring Agreement B. MEDIA LIABILITY

The lines between MPL, Media, and Technology get fuzzier every day.  The addition of this insuring clause to the MPL form allows the underwriter and broker to determine the proper form without sacrificing coverage.  It’s especially meaningful coverage since the Intellectual Property Exclusion provides a carve back resulting from a Media Incident.

Contingent Bodily Injury / Property Damage included

Definition of Bodily Injury and Property Damage now includes a carve back for claims arising from Professional Services.  This was perhaps the most common endorsement request from our broker partners, so it’s wonderful to be able to now say, “yeah…it’s built in!”

Supplemental Payments – Fee Dispute Mitigation 50% of withheld fees up to $50K

Let’s face it – Suing for fees almost always results in a countersuit alleging negligence.  But we understand the Insured cannot afford to forfeit their outstanding fees, even if the claim will erode their deductible and pierce their limits. Once in dispute, this Supplemental Payment may help alleviate the Insured’s financial loss without costly litigation.

Knowledge of Senior Executive Officer, Severability of Application, Built in Waiver of Subrogation

Revised Knowledge and Severability conditions can now be realistically managed by our Insured’s. Waiver of Subrogation was probably our second most requested endorsement and since most claims allegations trigger the Professional Services, this common sense approach will make it easier for underwriters and brokers to accommodate our Insured’s contractual obligations.

Defense and Settlement (THE HAMMER CLAUSE)

Now 90/10

Our previous policy provided 50/50.  Now that’s what I call an upgrade!!
