    Yea, but isn’t it an e&o exposure if you fail to call just one client who receives a cancellation notice?

    There was a failry lengthy discussion on IJ somewhere regarding the issue of calling non-pay clients and whether it can spark an E&O claim or not. The consensus seemed to be split 50/50 as to the issue. I would think however that a good attorney could make the case that if it is your agency policy to personally telephone each client who falls behind on payments and have done so consistently and then fail to do so resulting in a denied claim, you could be held to be liable. This could be why most other businesses do not call and only send past due notices by mail.

    I deal with people like this all day every day. I have even heard one say “well i knew my payment was due but you didn’t call me…” therefore their insurance lapsed. People need to wake up & take responsibility for their own actions. If you own a care, then you must pay for insurance. Period! I hope the judge throws the book at him. Moron.

    Yeah, the guy was dumb for letting his insurance lapse; however, for those saying that the judge should throw the book at him, for what? Rear ending the lady? Pay the cost of the car bill and move on.

    Unfortunately though, the lady found out that she was hit by a rich athlete and will likely be suing for a large amount of money that is well in excess of the damages for the accident.

    The problem with this scenario is Plax, it’s the legal system and the people who use it as a crutch because they are too lazy to do anything for themselves. At least Plax is out there doing something.
