Don't casually rely on an E&O provider to do anything about board complaints.

State appraisal board cases -
increasing
Coverage for state board complaints
is very limited, as compared
with other features of appraiser E&O
policies.
Per LIA, for 2012, 45% annualized.
In 2011, 42% of all reported
claims are state board complaints, up
from 39% in 2010.
Several companies provide up to
$2,500 to $5,000 to its insureds if a
complaint is filed by their state
boards, and offers to find attorneys to
help with the state board complaints.
The number of complaints varies
widely among the states, primarily
depending on the state regulator.
There is concern about increases in
state board cases due to the "mandatory
reporting" requirement of
appraiser "problems" in Dodd-Frank.
But not much has happened yet.
Some other insurers offer limited
coverage and/or assistance if your
state appraisal board challenges one
of your appraisals. Check to see what
your E&O provider offers.
