MORTGAGE COMPANY<br />
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY COVERAGE<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
A professional liability policy insures professionals against loss arising from claims brought against them<br />
by persons for whom the insured provides professional services. The policy typically provides a defense<br />
and indemnity in connection with claims alleging errors and omissions. It is insurance that protects the<br />
professional activities of those who have specialized knowledge or skills through education or experience.<br />
Historically, such policies were issued mainly to professionals such as accountants, attorneys, doctors or<br />
engineers, but the coverage can also apply to persons engaged in other specialized fields who desire<br />
coverage for their wrongful acts<br />
The Mortgage Company Professional Liability Policy (“MCPL policy”) provides errors and omissions<br />
coverage to professionals and companies working in the real estate finance industry, such as mortgage<br />
bankers and mortgage brokers. The policy provides defense and indemnity protection from claims that<br />
may be brought by borrowers or other third parties for whom the insureds have provided services, such<br />
as arranging, documenting and/or servicing mortgage loans. The coverage is provided for claims arising<br />
from any alleged failure by the professional to perform, or to adequately perform, professional services<br />
in connection with such work. The following is an overview of the coverage under the MCPL policy.<br />
