Why do attorneys need insurance?

A common misconception among some attorneys is that the likelihood of facing a malpractice claim is minimal, leading them to forgo insurance. However, even baseless allegations require a defense, which can be costly. The following numbers will vary between different states, practice areas, and across time. However, approximately 4% of private-practice lawyers in the U.S. will face an allegation of malpractice in any given year. Even if many of those allegations resolve without any loss being paid, those claims still have an impact. Claims can easily take 6 to 24 months to resolve, and defense costs on a claim with any merit can quickly exceed $25,000.

Beyond financial protection, malpractice insurance offers peace of mind, allowing attorneys to focus on their practice without worrying about potential claims. ALPS also provides risk management resources, such as CLE, practice forms, and templates, to help attorneys proactively mitigate the risk of a claim.

How do I know what coverage I need for my firm?

While there is no formulaic way to determine the proper amount of coverage for a firm, a good place to start would be to select limits that allow you to feel comfortable with the amount of protection based on the type of work you perform and the amount of liability that could be imposed should you ever make an error.

ALPS offers you a few different ways to understand your coverage needs:
