Professional Liability

WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY?

Professional liability insurance, commonly known as E&O (Errors & Omissions), protects businesses against civil lawsuits and negligence claims. Professional liability insurance can protect you against the professional advice you give and could even protect you against frivolous claims that make it to court.

 PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURES AGAINST:

  • Errors & Omissions (E&O)
    • Professional Liability insures against liability incurred as a result of Errors & Omissions in performing their professional services.
    • Most Professional Liability policies only insure against economic or financial losses suffered by third parties as opposed to property damage and bodily injury claims.
      • Ex: Experts or professionals in their field (Real Estate Brokers, Architect, Consultant) can POTENTIALLY BE INSURED AGAINST CLAIMS OF FINANCIAL LOSS by a client, vendor, or consumer because of your professional advice.
  • Directors & Officers (D&O)
    • Insures against claims of mismanagement of a company by the board of directors or officers.
      • Ex: If a business decision has ADVERSE FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES, proper insurance can protect against lawsuits.

“Business moves fast and so do you, you should be able to feel comfortable in your work”
