Everyday lawyers get sued and everyday they file claims with their insurance carrier. But what happens when a claim is filed against you after you leave a firm, if your firm closes, or after you retire? That's what Extended Reporting Periods or "Tail" Coverage are for.
The American Bar Association Standing Committee on Lawyers' Professional Liability released data on a cross-section of legal malpractice claims during the period of 2012 - 2015.
