Run off insurance is an important consideration for an organisation and its management when considering long-tail exposures. A claims made policy requires that a current policy be in place, if any claim is to be accepted by an insurer.

You may also find that similar concepts apply to a broad range of financial lines insurances, such as professional indemnity insurance, cyber insurance, and even crime insurance to a certain extent. Keep in mind, however, that each policy is strictly interpreted according to its own terms and conditions.
