\"\"What is Professional Liability Insurance<\/a>?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Professional liability insurance is a type of business insurance that provides coverage for professionals and businesses to protect against claims of negligence from clients or customers. Professional liability insurance typically covers negligence, copyright infringement, personal injury, and more. Claims covered by a professional liability policy can include damages caused by things you did and\/or things that you should have done. Professional liability is also sometimes called professional indemnity insurance or errors & omissions coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does Professional Liability Insurance work?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Although many types of businesses can be helped with professional liability insurance coverage, let’s look at a few real life examples. Let’s say you’re a project manager. You accidentally forget to get to tell your client about needed sign offs causing project delays that increase the cost. Or maybe you’re a massage therapist and your client sues you, claiming you caused tissue damage. These are just a few of the cases that professional liability insurance could help you with. Many people often pair it with\u00a0general liability insurance\u00a0for more complete coverage.<\/p>\n

You should consider professional liability insurance if your business provides:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • A professional service<\/li>\n
  • Regular professional advice to clients<\/li>\n
  • Contractual service to your clients\n
