What Is Professional Liability Insurance? 

Professional liability insurance is a type of business insurance that can help cover legal fees and settlement costs arising from allegations of professional negligence, mistakes or misrepresentation. In some industries, it may be referred to as errors and omissions insurance or medical malpractice insurance.  

What Does Professional Liability Insurance Cover? 

Although individual policies may vary, here are some examples of common professional liability claims your coverage could cover: 
  • Breach of contract
  • Failure to deliver a service on time
  • Professional negligence
  • Failure to meet a standard of care
  • Errors or omissions 

Who Needs Professional Liability Insurance? 

Professional liability insurance is required at the state and federal levels for some industries. Ask your insurance company if professional liability insurance is required for your business. Some clients may also require you to purchase professional liability coverage as a requisite to doing business with you. But even when professional liability insurance is not required, you may purchase coverage to protect your business assets from lawsuits.  

What Professions Need Professional Liability Coverage? 

The following list provides examples of professions that could benefit from professional liability coverage: 
  • Accountants
