Shouldn't my lawyer ask for the Professional Liability Policy of my employer to pre-qualify

I worked for some (24) years as a faithful and loyal employee. I grew up with my employer and helped to build his empire. We were told to book patients back to back and worked some days double shifts. It wasn't until a temporary employee came in and asked for their lunches and breaks. The employer said, "Well, you need to cover the temp employee for their breaks, while I received none." The employer paid me for my lunches and breaks and I didn't know better. Isn't this an admission of guilt? Anyway, at what point should the lawyer pre-qualify his case by asking for the PLP? Shouldn't my lawyer ask for the Professional Liability Policy of my employer to pre-qualify if there is something to go after in court and/or asking for a demand? How can he demand anything if he doesn't know what the value of the case is? Shouldn't the lawyer have a Discovery Plan?
