Professional Liability Insurance, also known as Errors and Omissions Insurance, is designed to protect you and your small business against claims of a negligent act, error or omission in the performance or failure to perform professional services.
While Commercial General Liability is extremely important and provides coverage for third party bodily injury or property damage, it typically does not cover any losses due to professional services, and specifically does not cover allegations of financial loss arising from your professional services or advice. If you are a consultant (whether it be IT, marketing, HR, management), an engineer, or a finance professional, to name a few, your clients could accuse you of bad advice leading to a financial impact on their part.
Is it a requirement to have professional liability insurance for small businesses?
If you are a consultant (whether it be IT, marketing, HR, management), an engineer, or a finance professional, to name a few, your clients could accuse you of bad advice leading to a financial impact on their part.
As a result, professional liability Insurance is extremely important for anyone engaged in providing professional services or advice, not only to cover damages but also for defense costs. Regardless of whether or not you are actually found to be negligent, the legal costs associated with defending yourself could result in a significant financial setback. Protect your personal financial future and the longevity of your business by purchasing professional liability insurance. For a small business, it can often be extremely affordable relative to the protection and peace of mind it brings.
There are some professions who are required to purchase and show proof of professional liability coverage. In other cases, some clients may refuse to work with you if you do not have evidence of insurance.
How does professional liability coverage protect my business?
There are a number of different professional negligence situations where your professional liability coverage can come in handy. Consider the following:
- You operate as a marketing professional and publish advertising material where the competitor of your client accuses the ad of portraying false or harmful information.
- You work as a financial advisor and a client’s confidential details are accidentally sent to an unrelated party, who then abuses the sensitive info.
In the above situations, professional liability coverage may be what you need to offset potential financial devastation.
