From time to time I've had discussions with agents about e&o and as of yet not one single agent has been able to point out to me an instance where they or another agent they new personally actually had a claim. I don't doubt that they happen, but at a minimum they do not seem to happen with any degree of frequency. Once upon a time a little company called "e and o coverage of america" did business providing certificates (not insurance) to agents so they could have e&o coverage, but I'm assuming they were banking on not having a claim. Coincidentally they were served a cease and desist and to my knowledge are no longer doing business ( http://www.dora.state.co.us/INSURANCE/enforcement/2009/O09182.pdf )
This all being the case, does anyone have any personal experience (you can call it a "friend") or experience with a friend (or acquaintance) where they actually had a claim?
Maybe this thread will be short because the agents I associate with are an accurate depiction of the industry as a whole and the fact is that there really and truly are not many claims, but if that's not the case then I'd like to see some real examples with as much detail regarding the situation as possible.
