Bill Hager is the author of "The Emerging Law of Actuarial Malpractice," a leading authority on actuarial malpractice

Issue: Most lawyers overlook liability embedded in the negligent provision of actuarial services, or overlook defenses to such allegations. Actuaries, like accountants and other professionals, have a professional obligation to their clients which in many cases is evidenced by professional liability coverage. Almost every insurance company insolvency raises at least the issue of actuarial malpractice. That cause of action and its potential recovery is among the many assets to be targeted for collection by the liquidator.

In addition, many financial transactions today contain professional actuarial work product. To the extent that that work has been negligently provided, a cause of action against the consulting actuary can arise.
