STANDARD POLICY
OUR STANDARD POLICY INCLUDES:
- Defense Outside the Limits (25% of the per-claim limit, subject to a maximum of $1,000,000)
Defense Outside the Limits helps pay the cost of defending a claim made against the insured so the cost of defending your case does not erode your policy limits available to pay settlements or judgments resulting from a covered claim. See policy terms and conditions for details.
- First Dollar Defense
First Dollar Defense is a feature that applies the deductible toward indemnity costs rather than defense costs. With this feature, the policyholder does not pay a deductible toward the costs of defending a claim.
- Aggregate Deductible
An aggregate deductible is assessed on a cumulative basis, rather than on a per-claim basis. This means that a FLMIC policyholder pays their deductible only once per policy, not each time a claim is made under the same policy.
- No Deductible for Claims Arising from Pro Bono Work
FLMIC waives the deductible obligation for claims arising from Pro Bono legal services.
- Disciplinary Proceeding Coverage (up to a maximum of $10,000)
Disciplinary Proceeding Coverage pays the expenses required to defend an insured attorney when a state bar association or regulatory agency brings disciplinary proceedings against him or her. See policy terms and conditions for details.
