E&O Indemnity Policies other than the RepSync Program will not eliminate your $50,000 deductible because the E&O insurance carrier has to pay the legal defense fees since RRADA is not involved. Traditional E&O Indemnity Policy Result: In this case your firm is responsible for the $50,000 deductible
