Who is considered a “named insured”?
A- How your policy defines “named insured” is critical to determining who will be covered in the event of a claim. Understanding whether your policy provides coverage to newly hired attorneys, legal secretaries, paralegals, contract attorneys, or other legal office staff members is essential to your receiving complete and total coverage. For example, a new lawyer is hired and your firm administrator forgets to add that person to your policy. Then, the new lawyer is sued. Are you covered for this claim? Some programs provide a very broad definition of “named insured” and in the above example, your firm will be protected. Call C&R Insurance Services to learn more about what program offers such protection.
