Unmasking Liability Insurance: Industry Insider Frederick J. Fisher on Claims-Made Policies, Legal Risks & Hidden Traps

Frederick J. Fisher, J.D., CCP is a pioneer in the world of liability insurance, known for shaking up the industry with sharp insight, bold commentary, and a relentless focus on client protection. With over 50 years in Professional Liability, Fred has seen — and reshaped — it all.

He's the author of Claims-Made Insurance: The Policy That Changed the Industry, a must-read for professionals who want to understand the nuances of modern coverage. A founding member and past president of the 40,000-member Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS), Fred was awarded the prestigious PLUS Founders Award for his contributions to the field.

Often called “an insurance coverage terrorist” for his fearless truth-telling and deep expertise, he’s also known for coining the phrase The Gotchya’s That’ll Getchya™ — a no-nonsense way to describe the hidden traps that can leave professionals financially exposed.

Fred’s career includes decades as a claims adjuster, the founding and leadership of a major wholesale insurance brokerage, and expert witness testimony in some of the most high-profile liability cases in recent memory. Today, he continues to consult, teach, write, and advocate for better education around Executive and Specialty Lines insurance.

Whether addressing lawyers (who, statistically, he claims are the worst at protecting themselves) or training new professionals at the Claims College, Fred delivers wit, wisdom, and clarity in a field known for confusion.
