Want to know more about today’s Agency E&O. Take this survey

IJ's 2016 Agency E&O Survey


Insurance Journal reader:

Participate now in Insurance Journal's exclusive 2016 Agency Errors & Omissions Survey and we will share key insights with you on today's Agency E&O market.

The survey is designed specifically for independent agents and brokers who have purchased or are thinking about purchasing agency E&O coverage.

Last year's Agency E&O Survey found that nearly half of all agencies (48.2 percent) saw an E&O premium increase, while just 14.6 percent reported premium decreases. Where are agency E&O premiums today? Are agencies buying higher limits? Why or why not?

Find out now by taking this survey. Deadline is Friday, Oct. 21.

The survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete, and it will provide you and us with valuable information on the agent E&O market. All survey responses and information will remain confidential.

Thank you in advance for your participation, and thank you for reading Insurance Journal.
