Do (can)  insurance companies take out insurance  against  claims
being made on policies they sell?

In other words, if Mr. X has a homeowners  policy  that  protects
him  against  law  suits  for  up  to  $1.5 million, [cw]ould the
insurance company with whom  he  has   taken   the   policy   buy
insurance   for itself  so  that in the event that Mr. X ever has
to file a claim against his policy, his  insurance  company  will
not  be  the  one   to  foot the bill (ignoring the premiums they
might be paying)?
