Claims Professional Liability Insurance Protects You From
Generally speaking, if your business provides a professional service, it is necessary to obtain professional liability coverage to protect your reputation and your bottom line from accusations of:
- Negligence — failure to take proper care
- Misrepresentation — false or misleading advertising or account of services
- Unreliable advice that results in damages
- Violation of fair dealings
- Malpractice — improper or negligent professional behavior
- Lack of good faith and fair dealing
In other words, Professional Liability coverage protects your business and its assets from claims of mistakes, missed deadlines, failed deliveries, incomplete services, breaches of contract, and similar errors — any of which can have catastrophic consequences.
The Dangers of Not Having Professional Liability Coverage
As you are no doubt aware, a single lawsuit claiming a serious mistake or negligent action on the part of your company could result in a costly settlement, exorbitant legal fees, and expenses surrounding reputation remediation. In some cases, it could throw your business into bankruptcy proceedings.
