Typically an insurance is based on protecting a person from particular risks. This would include anything from disasters to theft and property damages, etc. Still when it comes to business, the kind of risk is far more significant and costly too, because under this circumstance, not only are you responsible for your own business and employees but also for the people with whom you do business. A general liability insurance covers these risks and protects your company from the sudden financial crisis. Professional liability insurance also covers those same risks but is more specific to certain professional fields.
Here are a few pointers that would help you understand these policies.
What is Professional Liability Insurance?
The professional liability insurance is also a policy that focuses specifically on the lawsuits that stem from your professional services. Though this policy is particularly important for service providers, most small-business owners can benefit from its coverage as well. That’s because Professional Liability Insurance covers you from third-party lawsuits that assert that you:
-
- Provided negligent professional services
- Failed to keep contractual expectation
- Provided incomplete or inferior work
- Made flaws in services
