Designed to protect your business.

Professional liability insurance coverage is for liability claims caused by professional negligence that results in financial harm or bodily injury to a third party. We’ll help get you the right coverage you need.

Professional liability insurance (aka Errors & Omissions or Malpractice Insurance) is different from General Liability Insurance which provides protection for bodily injury and property damage to a third party. Professionals are expected to have extensive training and technical knowledge in their particular area of expertise. They are also expected to perform the services for which they were hired, according to the standards of conduct in their profession. If they fail to use the degree of skill expected of them, they can be held responsible in a court of law for bodily injury or financial harm. Common issues covered by professional liability coverage include negligence, misrepresentation, inaccurate advice, or failure to perform, which all can result in a financial loss or injury to the client or patient.
