The Hanover Enhances Product Suites for Lawyers, Healthcare Facilities
The Hanover Insurance Group Inc. said it has enhanced its product suites for lawyers and healthcare facilities.
The Hanover Lawyers Advantage product suite offers stand-alone professional liability coverage for a wide range of law firms. In addition to a new base policy form, a new professional liability enhancement endorsement added nine supplemental coverages, including canceled conferences, emergency web hosting and pet boarding. Additionally, a new specific client limit endorsement offers the ability to increase the policy limit on an individual client basis, providing a method to meet insurance limit requirements in contracts. The insurer said that key coverages in the base form include:
- Privacy and security liability coverage: Covers the firm for liability related to the mishandling of a client’s personal information
- Remote notarization services and electronic notarization services: Now expressly included, offering protection for lawyers and firms in today’s digital business environment
- Deductible reduction: 50% deductible reduction for mediation claim settlement up to $10,000
Hanover Healthcare Facilities Advantage product suite offers a multiline solution that includes professional liability, general liability, property, automobile, umbrella and workers’ compensation coverages, and other specialized coverages for a wide range of facilities, ranging from imaging centers and urgent care clinics, to community health centers and physical therapy facilities. The insurer said a few of the key coverages include:
- Employee theft of client property: Provides coverage for loss of, or damage to, a client’s money, securities, or other property caused by employee theft.
- Public relations expense: Provides reimbursement of public relations expenses related to an emergency incident.
- Abuse and molestation: Provides coverage for legal expenses incurred by facilities for accusations of physical abuse, sexual misconduct or molestation brought against an employee.
