What is professional liability insurance?

Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, protects businesses and professionals against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in the services they provide. It covers legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments if a client alleges that your professional services caused them financial harm.

Does my business need professional liability?

If your business provides professional services, advice, or expertise to clients, professional liability insurance is essential. It protects you from the financial impact of lawsuits alleging mistakes or negligence in your work, which could otherwise be costly and damaging to your business’s reputation.

How do insurance companies determine my premiums?

Insurance companies determine your professional liability premiums based on several factors, including the type of services you provide, the size of your business, your industry’s risk level, your claims history, and the coverage limits you choose. Higher risk professions and those with a history of claims may face higher premiums.

What industries need professional liability insurance?

Industries that commonly need professional liability insurance include legal, medical, financial services, consulting, real estate, architecture, engineering, and technology. Any business that provides specialized advice or services to clients should consider this coverage.

What are common professional liability insurance claims?

Common claims under professional liability insurance include allegations of misrepresentation, negligence, inaccurate advice, failure to deliver services as promised, and errors or omissions in the work provided. These claims often arise when a client believes that your professional services caused them financial loss.

I utilize a lot of independent contractors, are they covered by my policy?

What is the difference between claims-made and occurrence form?

Claims-made and occurrence forms are two types of professional liability insurance coverage. A claims-made policy provides coverage if the claim is made during the policy period, regardless of when the incident occurred. An occurrence policy covers claims for incidents that occur during the policy period, even if the claim is filed after the policy has expired.

What is a retroactive date?

A retroactive date is a key feature in a claims-made policy that specifies the earliest date an incident can occur and still be covered by the policy. Claims arising from incidents that occurred before the retroactive date are not covered, making it important to maintain continuous coverage to avoid gaps.
