From sole proprietors to large commercial businesses, professional liability insurance is one way to protect yourself against a negligence claim.
Professionals at risk
In today’s increasingly litigious environment, professionals are often held to a higher standard and subject to allegations for losses arising from their professional actions or inactions.
If you offer specialized services like consulting, teaching or professional advice to clients, you are automatically held to a higher level of duty and accountability.
Professionals require specific professional liability insurance protection
Professional liability insurance (PLI), sometimes referred to as professional indemnity insurance (PII), more commonly known as Errors & Omissions (E&O), is a form of business insurance designed to help professional advice, consulting and service-providing individuals and companies protect themselves against a negligence claim made by a client in a civil lawsuit for allegedly giving wrong advice, error in service, or incorrect data/information to clients.
Our innovative insurance products are modular and we can help you design a policy that is geared to your specialty services.
