How do you get an attorney's malpractice insurance information?

Answered by John Bisnar There are two basic ways to find out someone insurance information.  This applies to attorney's malpractice insurance as well as any other type of liability insurance situation (like auto insurance or medical malpractice). One you ask them for it and hope they provide it.  However, in California, they are not required to provide insurance information. The other way you get someone's insurance information is you file a lawsuit against them.  During the "discovery" phase of the lawsuit you can ask for the information and they are required to provide it. In many situations, if a California legal malpractice lawyer asks for an attorney's E&O insurance information (E&O = errors and omissions = malpractice) they will provide it in order to avoid the filing of a lawsuit.
