Newsletter

For those who remember what being "an agent" was like, this section is particularly important.

As a broker the information you are expected to research and retain is enormous. In this newsletter we will attempt to update regularly in simple language—some proven, some not—some recent developments of claims, which will illustrate the pitfalls of simply "not knowing" or not remembering the latest cases and the lessons they provide.

May 2016: Welcome to our In-Form-Ed Newsletter

Welcome to our new Newsletter and Web Site

New Home, New Newsletter and Web Site This first newsletter is a celebration of our new home at 4853 East Hastings in Burnaby, British Columbia, where we now service Western Canada. Our website has been revamped and you will find valuable information there. We will continually update the site with timely and relevant information, hence the name of our newsletter is In-Form-Ed.

The Principles of Pro-Form BC bring you over 100 combined years of Insurance Expertise The principals of Pro-Form BC have seen many changes over nearly 100 combined years of their involvement in the insurance industry. We have used that experience to determine the best possible specialization for you in the service we provide. We have noted some brokerages in Western Canada straying into the professional liability areas, while promising any and all types of insurance coverage for their clients. We don’t believe that a professional can offer such a wide range of services in the area of professional liability, while still having the specific knowledge you need in tough times. We, on the other hand, have made this our specialization in this greatly expanding insurance sector. This newsletter will help us show you how our clients are being challenged —which, in some cases, can even lead to lawsuits—by unexpected situations that continue to materialize. Through our newsletter and our website we will to keep you "In-Form-Ed".

Our Updated Web Site Thank you for taking your first look at our new Pro-Form BC website. As a client, welcome to the new look. As a person interested in professional liability insurance, we hope we can make this form of contact valuable enough for you that you will consider our services. Our revamped ProForma web site is meant to provide you with valuable information about our professional liability services and to inform you about happenings within the industries we serve regarding recent casualty and liability claims. You will find news about recent upgrades to available coverages, new professional groups for which we provide very focused professional coverages, and general information on how to protect you and your organization from liability pitfalls in your business or non-profit that result from the daily handling of your clients and prospects.

Our continuing reporting of Important Insurance Issues Our next quarterly issue will be reporting on some case law relating to out-of-province licensing of relocated automobiles that resulted in some brokers going to court. We will also have continuing news on fellow brokers/adjusters, as well as engineering or medical professionals, who have had missteps along the way and were fined or suspended by their provincial regulators. We will also share a case study about one of our clients (with the names changed of course) who was sued. We'll tell you why it happened and how we protected them. So, until our next issue, please review our new website and call us or email us with any questions you may have. We would welcome any relevant information relating to a professional liability claims that you have experienced in your industry. We will be happy to share your experience with all of our readers.
