The Alliance of Insurance Agents & Brokers in California has an exclusive Fireman's Fund E&O program for its members and premiums range from $1,493 to $1,652 per licensee for $1 million/$1 million limits, depending on the deductible. The coverage is great with features such as first-dollar defense and defense costs outside the policy limits, not to mention a generous retro date. In the interest of full disclosure, I am the executive director of the Alliance and I take great care to personally shop E&O policies for our members. I'm always happy to answer any questions from broker-agents, whether the questions relate to E&O or other issues. If individuals prefer not to post questions online, I can be reached privately at
mdarelli@agentsalliance.com. "Thank you" to the Insurance Journal for providing this forum.
