AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to purchase Professional Liability coverage for Air Flight
Nurses and the Medical Examiner for a cost of$31,000.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County's Professional Liability policy for its Flight Nurses and Medical Examiner expires on May
1, 2025. The County is required to have this policy because its primary liability specifically excludes
healthcare services rendered by nurses. The current policy is provided by Markel Insurance Company
and has a per incident limit of$1,000,000, an annual aggregate of$3,000,000, and no deductible.
Coverage is provided on a "Claims Made" basis with a retroactive date of 4/26/2007. The annual
premium for the expiring policy is $29,272.
Markel has agreed to renew the coverage with terms and conditions with the expiring policy for an
annual premium of$31,000. This represents an increase of 5.9%. This is considered a reasonable
increase under current market conditions. This renewal would extend coverage by an additional one-
year term, beginning May 1, 2025 and expiring May 1, 2026.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On April 17, 2024 BOCC approved to accept proposal for Professional Liability for Air Flight Nurses
and Medical Examiner from Markel Insurance through agent Marsh.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY
A. Limit of Liability-Each Claim: For Professional Liability, the total liability of the Company for the combined total of
Damages and Claim Expenses for each Claim first made against the Insured during the Policy Period or the
Extended Reporting Period, if exercised, shall not exceed the Limit of Liability stated in the Declarations as
applicable to Each Claim.
B. Limit of Liability-Coverage Part Aggregate: Subject to the above Section LIMITS OF LIABILITY A., for
Professional Liability, the total liability of the Company shall not exceed the Coverage Part Aggregate Limit of
Liability as stated in the Declarations for all Damages and Claim Expenses arising out of all Claims first made
against the Insured during the Policy Period and the Extended Reporting Period, if exercised.
C. Limit of Liability-Reduction for Refusal to Settle: The Company shall not settle any Claim without the consent of
the Insured. If, however, the Insured is a partnership, professional association, professional corporation or limited
liability company, the written consent of an Insured who was formerly but is no longer a member of the partnership,
professional association or limited liability company or director, officer, stockholder or employee of a professional
corporation will not be required, provided the written consent of the corporate directors, officers, stockholders or
employees of a professional corporation, or their duly appointed representatives, has been obtained. If, however,
the Insured shall refuse to consent to any settlement recommended by the Company and shall elect to contest the
Claim or continue any legal proceedings in connection with such Claim, then the Company's liability for the Claim
shall not exceed the amount for which the Claim could have been so settled including Claim Expenses incurred up
to the date of such refusal. Such amounts are subject to the provisions of the above Limits of Liability A. and B.
D. Deductible: For Professional Liability, the Deductible amount stated in the Declarations shall be paid by the
Named Insured and shall be applicable to each Claim and shall include Damages and Claim Expenses, whether or

MESM 5010 02 20 Page 6 of 9
2489
INTERLINE
The determination of the Company as to the reasonableness of the Claim Expenses shall be conclusive on the
Named Insured.
E. Multiple Insureds, Claims and Claimants: The inclusion herein of more than one Insured in any Claim or the
making of Claims by more than one person or organization shall not operate to increase the Limits of Liability stated
in the Declarations. More than one Claim arising out of a single act, error or omission or a series of related acts,
errors or omissions shall be considered a single Claim. All such Claims, whenever made, shall be deemed to be
first made on the date on which the earliest Claim arising out of such act, error or omission is made, or with regard
to written notice given to and accepted by the Company pursuant to Section CLAIMS B., Discovery Clause, on the
date within the Policy Period on which such written notice of potential Claim is first received by the Company.
DEFENSE AND CLAIM EXPENSES
A. Defense and Investigation of Claims: The Company shall have the right and duty to defend and investigate any
Claim to which coverage under this Coverage Part applies pursuant to the following provisions:
1. Claim Expenses incurred in defending and investigating such Claim shall be a part of and shall not be in
addition to the Professional Liability Limits of Liability stated in the Declarations. Such Claim Expenses shall
reduce the Limits of Liability and shall be applied against the Deductible. The Company shall have no obligation
to pay any Damages or to defend or continue to defend any Claim or to pay Claim Expenses after the
Professional Liability Limits of Liability stated in the Declarations have been exhausted by payment(s) of
Damages and/or Claim Expenses.
2. The Company shall select defense counsel; provided, however, that if the law of the state of the Named
Insured's domicile, stated in Item 2. of the Declarations, allows the Insured to control the selection of defense
counsel where a conflict of interest has arisen between the Insured and the Company, the Company will provide
a list of attorneys or law firms from which the Insured may designate defense counsel who shall act solely in the
interest of the Insured, and the Insured shall direct such defense counsel to cooperate with the Company. Such
cooperation shall include:
a. Providing on a regular basis, but not less frequently than every three (3) months, written reports on claimed
Damages, potential liability, progress of any litigation, any settlement demands, or any investigation
developments that materially affect the Claim;
b. Providing any other reasonable information requested;
c. Providing fully itemized billing on a periodic basis; and
d. Cooperating with the Company and the Insured in resolving any discrepancies;
and the fees and costs incurred by such defense counsel, including those fees and costs generated by defense
counsel's cooperation with the Company, as stated above, shall be included in Claim Expenses. Such Claim
Expenses shall be a part of and shall not be in addition to the Professional Liability Limits of Liability stated in
the Declarations. Such Claim Expenses shall reduce the Limits of Liability and shall be applied against the
Deductible.
CLAIMS
A. Claim Reporting Provision: It is a condition precedent to coverage afforded by this Coverage Part that the
Insured shall give to the Company written notice as stated in the Notices item of the Declarations as soon as
practicable of any Claim first made against the Insured during the Policy Period or the Extended Reporting Period, if
exercised.
In the event suit is brought against the Insured, the Insured shall immediately forward to Markel Corporation, P.O.
Box 2009, Glen Allen, VA 23058-2009, on behalf of the Company, every demand, notice, summons or other
process received by him/her or by his/her representatives.
B. Discovery Clause: If during the Policy Period, the Insured first becomes aware of a specific act, error or omission
in Professional Services which is reasonably expected to result in a Claim within the scope of coverage of this
Coverage Part, then the Insured may provide written notice as stated in the Declarations to the Company containing
the information listed below. If such written notice is received by the Company during the Policy Period, then any
Claim subsequently made against the Insured arising out of such act, error or omission in Professional Services
shall be deemed for the purpose of this insurance to have been first made on the date on which such written notice
is received by the Company.
MESM 5010 02 20 Page 7 of 9
2490
INTERLINE
It is a condition precedent to the coverage afforded by this Discovery Clause that written notice be given to the
Company containing the following information:
1. The description of the specific act, error or omission in Professional Services;
2. The date on which such act, error or omission in Professional Services took place;
3. The injury or damage which has or may result from such act, error or omission in Professional Services;
4. The identity of any injured persons; and
5. The circumstances by which the Insured first became aware of such act, error or omission in Professional
Services.
Subject to the paragraph hereinabove, if during the Policy Period the Insured provides such written notice of a
specific act, error or omission in Professional Services which is reasonably expected to result in a Claim within the
scope of coverage of this Coverage Part, the Company at its sole option, may investigate such specific act, error or
omission in Professional Services. Such matter shall be subject to all terms, conditions and provisions in this
Coverage Part as applicable to a Claim.
EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD
A. The Named Insured's right to exercise the Extended Reporting Period under this Coverage Part shall exist solely if
the Named Insured also exercises its right to purchase the Extended Reporting Period under all Insuring
Agreements in the policy for which an Extended Reporting Period is available.
B. If the Named Insured nonrenews this policy in its entirety or cancels this policy in its entirety pursuant to Common
Policy Conditions Section A., Cancellation, or if the Company nonrenews this policy in its entirety or cancels this
policy in its entirety pursuant to Common Policy Conditions A., Cancellation, for reasons other than nonpayment of
premium, Deductible or non-compliance with the terms and conditions of this policy, then the Named Insured shall
have the right upon payment of an additional premium calculated at the percentage stated in the Declarations of the
adjusted annual premium for the Policy Period, subject to adjustment as per Common Policy Conditions K.,
Premium and Audit, but in no event less than the percentage stated in the Declarations of the annual minimum
premium for the policy, to extend the coverage granted under this Coverage Part, for the period of months stated in
the Declarations, as elected by the Named Insured to apply to Claims first made against the Insured during the
period of months as elected and reported to the Company pursuant to, Section CLAIMS A., Claim Reporting
Provision, following immediately upon the effective date of such cancellation or nonrenewal, for any act, error or
omission in Professional Services which happened on or after the applicable Retroactive Date stated in the
Declarations and prior to the effective date of such cancellation or nonrenewal and which is otherwise covered by
this Coverage Part.
This extended period of coverage months as elected by the Named Insured and described in this paragraph shall
be referred to in this policy as the Extended Reporting Period.
If, however, this Coverage Part is immediately succeeded by claims made insurance coverage on which the
Professional Liability Retroactive Date is the same as or earlier than that stated in the Declarations of this policy, the
succeeding insurance shall be deemed to be a renewal hereof and, in consequence, the Named Insured shall have
no right to purchase an Extended Reporting Period.
The quotation of a different premium and/or deductible and/or limit of liability for renewal does not constitute a
cancellation or refusal to renew for the purpose of this provision.
This Extended Reporting Period shall not be available when any Insured's license or right to practice his/her
profession is revoked, suspended or surrendered.
C. As a condition precedent to the right to purchase the Extended Reporting Period, the Named Insured must have
paid:
1. All Deductibles when due;
2. All premiums due for the Policy Period; and
3. All premium and deductible(s), if any, due on any other policy(ies) issued by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies in an uninterrupted series of policies of which this policy is a renewal or replacement.
The right to purchase the Extended Reporting Period shall terminate unless a written request for the Extended
Reporting Period is received by the Company within thirty (30) days after the effective date of cancellation or
MESM 5010 02 20 Page 8 of 9
2491
INTERLINE
nonrenewal together with payment of the additional deposit premium for the Extended Reporting Period. If such
written request and payment of additional premium for the Extended Reporting Period are not so received by the
Company, there shall be no right to purchase the Extended Reporting Period at a later date.
D. The Named Insured shall pay any additional premium that may be due as a result of audit, promptly when due.
E. In the event of the purchase of the Extended Reporting Period the entire premium therefor shall be fully earned at
its commencement.
F. The Extended Reporting Period shall not in any way increase the Limits of Liability stated in the Declarations.

The Declarations, Common Policy Conditions, Coverage Part(s), the application(s) and any written endorsements
attached hereto shall be deemed to be a single unitary contract.
E. OTHERINSURANCE
This insurance shall be in excess of the applicable Deductible stated in the Declarations and any other insurance
available to the Insured whether such other insurance is stated to be primary, contributory, excess, contingent or

provided in this policy.
If any Claim under this policy is also covered by one or more policies issued by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies affording coverage to the Named Insured or to any organization or person who controls, is controlled by,
or is affiliated by common control with the Named Insured unless such other insurance is written only as specific
excess insurance or umbrella insurance over the Limits of Liability provided in this policy, then with respect to such
Claim:
1. The Limit of Liability available under this policy will be equal to the percentage that this policy's available Limit of
Liability bears to the total combined Limits of Liability available under all applicable policies; and
2. The total Limit of Liability available for such Claim shall not exceed the greater/est available Limit of Liability
remaining on all such policies and its payment shall extinguish the Company's and its affiliated companies' liability
on all such policies for such Claim.
F. CHANGES
Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company shall not
effect a waiver or a change in any part of this policy and shall not estop the Company from asserting any right under

necessary to secure such rights. The Insured shall do nothing after the Claim to prejudice such rights.
The Company shall not exercise any such rights against any person or organization included in the definition of
Insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company reserves the right to exercise any rights of
subrogation against an Insured in respect of any Claim brought about or contributed to by an intentional, willful,
dishonest, fraudulent act or omission of such Insured or by an act or omission of such Insured that constitutes a willful
violation of any statute or regulation.
Any amount so recovered, whether effected by the Company or by the Insured, shall first be used for the repayment
of expenses incurred toward subrogation; second, for any Damages and Claim Expenses payment by the Insured
which is in excess of the amount of the Limit of Liability under this policy and which is excess of any amount paid by
MESM 5100 02 20 Page 2 of r
2494
any insurer under any other policy; third, for any damages and claims expenses payment by any excess insurer on
behalf of the Insured; fourth, for any damages and claim expenses payment by any primary insurer on behalf of the
Insured; and, last, for repayment of the Insured's Deductible.

or incur any expense without the prior written consent of the Company.

If any Insured shall commit fraud in proffering any Claim, this insurance shall become void as to such Insured from the
date such fraudulent Claim is proffered.
K. PREMIUM AND AUDIT
Upon expiration of this policy, the Named Insured shall furnish to the Company a statement of the Named Insured's
actual total premium base as stated in the Declarations for the Policy Period. The actual earned premium shall be
computed thereon at the premium rate stated in the Declarations. If the actual earned premium is more than the
deposit premium stated in the Declarations, the Named Insured shall pay the difference to the Company; if less, the
Company shall refund the difference to the Named Insured except that the Company shall be entitled to the minimum
premium as stated in the Declarations. The Company shall have the right to require of the Named Insured, at any time
within the said Policy Period or one year thereafter, a sworn statement of the entire amount (or number) of such
premium base during the whole or any specified part of the said period, and the Named Insured shall furnish said

duly authorized representative of the Company, who shall have the right and opportunity to examine the books and
records of the Named Insured as respects such premium base, and such examination may be made at any time
during the said period and within three (3) years thereafter. The rendering of any estimate or statement or the making
of any previous settlement shall not bar the examination herein provided for, nor the Company's right to additional
premium.
L. INSPECTION
The Company shall be permitted but not obligated to inspect the Insured's operations at any time. Neither the
Company's right to make inspections, nor the making thereof, nor any report thereon shall constitute an undertaking
on behalf of or for the benefit of the Insured or others, to determine or warrant that such operations are safe or
healthful, or are in compliance with any law, rule or regulation.
M. ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY
No action shall lie against the Company unless, as a condition precedent thereto, the Insured shall have fully
complied with all of the terms and conditions of this policy, nor until the amount of the Insured's obligation to pay shall
have been fully and finally determined either by judgment against the Insured after actual trial or by written agreement
of the Insured, the claimant and the Company.
Nothing contained in this policy shall give any person or organization any right to join the Company as a co-defendant
in any action against the Insured to determine the Insured's liability. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Insured or of the
Insured's estate shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder.
