Missouri Errors and Omissions Insurance Disputes Lawyers

Common Issues in Missouri E&O Insurance Claims

E&O insurance claims often become complicated because insurers look for ways to shift responsibility or deny coverage. Disputes typically involve careful interpretation of policy language, professional standards, and the facts of the underlying claim.

Missouri professionals frequently encounter disputes involving:

• Denials based on alleged intentional wrongdoing
• Claims that the dispute falls outside the scope of professional services
• Accusations of late reporting or insufficient notice
• Disagreements over whether defense costs should be advanced
• Attempts to apply exclusions for contractual liability
• Conflicts involving multiple claimants or overlapping coverage
• Disputes arising from unclear or incomplete policy language

Insurers may also attempt to limit the claim to save money, even when the professional acted responsibly. Our attorneys challenge these tactics and ensure that policyholders receive the coverage they paid for.
