Title
There are many factors used by the company to evaluate an application for Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance. Such factors may include a law firm’s areas of practice, loss history, risk management and an insurance score. An insurance score is developed from a mathematical model that weighs and measures credit information obtained from a number of sources, including a consumer credit report. Credit information may include payment history, the number of collections, bankruptcies, outstanding debt, length of credit history, types of credit in use and the number of new applications for credit. These factors have been shown to correlate with insurance loss history. You may be eligible for a premium discount based upon your insurance score. An insurance score will not result in a premium increase. The insurance score is also never the basis on which this company will accept or reject an application for an insurance policy. NOTICE TO NEW JERSEY APPLICANTS: Any person who includes any false or misleading information on an application for an insurance policy is subject to criminal and civil penalties. If this is acceptable all members of the applicant firm must provide authorization. If you do not wish to have your insurance score computed check here
