Coverage Details

What Does Professional Liability Insurance Cover?

Professional Liability Insurance provides essential coverage for a variety of professional service risks. Coverage may extend to prior acts from your retroactive date, and in some cases, services rendered abroad—subject to policy terms and where claims are filed. Always review policy language with a licensed advisor. These coverages are subject to the specific terms and conditions of your policy. It’s important to consult with a Sun Coast insurance professional to understand the full scope of coverage and how it applies to your business and employees. Unlike general liability insurance, Professional Liability is specifically designed to safeguard against the unique risks faced by service providers, including:
Alleged or Actual Negligence
Covers your business against claims of mistakes, failure to deliver a service as promised, or giving incorrect advice that leads to financial loss for your clients.
Defense Costs
Offers legal defense against covered claims, with options to include defense costs within or outside your policy limits, ensuring that legal expenses don’t impact your business’s financial health.
Important Exclusions
What Does Professional Liability Insurance Not Cover?
While Professional Liability Insurance, or Errors and Omissions Insurance, is comprehensive, there are specific exclusions you should be aware of. This policy does not cover criminal prosecution, and it cannot be used to mitigate intentional illegal acts or dishonesty. Additionally, general liability issues such as bodily injury or property damage to others, which are typically covered under a General Liability Insurance policy, are not covered under Professional Liability Insurance.

Furthermore, claims related to employment practices, such as discrimination or wrongful termination, are also excluded from this coverage (Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) is available separately for those exposures). Understanding these limitations is crucial as you consider the scope of protection your business needs. It’s important to complement your Professional Liability coverage with other types of insurance to ensure complete protection against all potential business risks.
