Proactive Claims Handling
As a Pearl/XL Insurance customer, your clients benefit from an experienced claims staff and expert defense attorneys who handle only real estate E&O claims. In fact, we have invested years of trust in panels of attorneys to answer the needs of our E&O customers in each state. These lawyers are chosen for their outstanding reputations and strong litigation skills. Plus, our insureds receive two hours of free, initial legal advice (over the phone) with a select member of their state's Panel Counsel.
