I haven't experienced it. Any big mistakes are picked up before we're at the closing table.

Why would you be at closing? Why would you not be aware of such an error in advance of closing?

If the big mistake is with escrow - get them to fix it! If the mistake was in your deal - does it impact your client? If so, it needs fixing. Write an addendum making the correction and get the other side to sign - before closing!
