E.L.M. Insurance Announces New Agents E&O Program

This is an “A-” rated, non-admitted program written on a claims-made basis. Limits will go up to $5 million and premiums start at $2,500. New agents/agencies will be considered subject to experience requirements and agencies with lapsed coverage will be subject to underwriters’ approval. Prior accounts coverage is available. Deductibles start at $1,000 for certain agencies.
