Total account solutions

In addition to our professional liability solution, The Hanover can offer coordinated property, casualty and management liability coverage that your clients need to be fully protected, including

Endorsement options

Not every client will need the broader coverage and increased limits available with a standalone product.

That's why we offer errors and omissions (E&O) endorsement options for select classes of business that can be added on to a Hanover business owner's policy or commercial package policy. 

Contact your underwriter to learn more about our E&O endorsements.

 

Program solutions

We can develop professional liability programs in any segment where you have either an existing book of business or a chance to grow. We work with retail agents, managing general agents and associations to build specific product solutions for all types of homogeneous groups with similar coverage needs, from start-ups and established programs to small, mid-size and large programs and accounts, including expertise in risk purchasing group formation.
