What is Professional Liability Insurance?
Professional Liability Insurance protects you and your business from potential financial burdens stemming from unintentional errors, omissions, or perceived negligence in the course of your professional services.
Unlike general liability, which covers bodily injuries or property damage, professional liability focuses on the intangible, like errors in professional judgment.
What does Professional Liability Insurance cover?
- Claims of negligence: If a client believes your services caused them financial harm due to negligence, even if no mistake was made.
- Defense costs: It covers legal fees and expenses, whether you win or lose the lawsuit.
- Services rendered in the past: Coverage for services performed before you were even insured (retroactive date must apply).
- Claims and damages: Should a client sue and win, this would cover settlements, awards, or damages up to the coverage limit.
Why do business owners choose Professional Liability Insurance?
- Risk mitigation: No one is perfect; mistakes can happen, and this insurance helps buffer the financial consequences.
- Professional image: It showcases to your clients that you’re responsible and prepared for any unforeseen issues.
- Legal Defense: Legal battles can be costly; this ensures you’re not paying hefty fees out-of-pocket.
- Peace of mind: Allows you to focus on providing quality service, knowing you’re protected against potential claims.

Professional Liability Insurance FAQs
