Claims: Not If but When
The thought of a legal malpractice claim is stressful and unnerving. The truth is, however, lawyers should expect two to three claims in their careers, according to the American Bar Association. It’s not usually a matter of “if” it will happen – but “when.”Even if the claim doesn’t have any merit whatsoever, it still requires attention. The sooner we know about a claim, potential claim or incident, the better off you are. Reporting early allows us to immediately begin our claims process, and often enables us to [...]
PHIL’S CORNER: If LPL Is Important, Are Limits Also?
Phil’s Corner is a special column from OAMIC’s President & CEO Phil Fraim that is sent in our e-newsletter each month.Most of the good, conscientious lawyers I know support the idea of the importance of lawyers professional liability insurance (LPL) and would not think of practicing without it. This is not because they think they are prone to mistakes, don’t know the law or are inexperienced. The fact is, they fight against the same mental impediment to effective risk [...]
Tips for Returning to the Office
Being back to the office, like from an extended work-from-home period, can be tough. Even those who kept a strict routine while working remotely might find it hard to get back to work in a traditional sense – you may have gotten out of bed, dressed and to your home office by 9, but you likely didn’t have to steam your suit, pack a lunch or compensate for a commute time.

What Our Policyholders Are Saying
Mr. Fraim and the inside counsel were cordial and efficient. My inquiries were answered promptly and the staff was very knowledgeable and straight forward.
OAMIC sticks by its insureds more than any other malpractice carrier I have heard of – and I experienced that commitment firsthand. That peace of mind is priceless. I will never leave OAMIC.
I am very satisfied with the handling of our claim. Communication was first rate. I thought the analysis and resolution of the claim was excellent. I received good counsel about the issues.
You guys are the best of the best. I could not have made it through this mess without your kind assistance.
I was with a big, national company that offered cheap rates and made a lot of promises. But, after a few months, I realized none of those promises held true. I switched back to OAMIC and am so glad I did. That was a mistake I will not make again!
I greatly appreciate the prompt and professional way OAMIC dealt with my claim. OAMIC made the situation as painless as such a situation could be.
Although I felt wronged, I was very anxious after my former client sued me. For me, I needed to move on, and the way you handled the claim allowed me to do so.
This was a difficult time for me and I lost many nights of sleep agonizing over error. OAMIC’s handling of the claim was superb, as was the work of outside counsel. Top notch. I was ‘in the loop’ at all times. Thanks so much for your excellent work. I am OAMIC for life.
I had a very frivolous lawsuit filed against me, and OAMIC and my attorney were fantastic. I have discouraged others from straying from OAMIC based on the handling of my claim.
