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 />
