What is Professional Liability Insurance Coverage for a Business all About?

Who needs professional liability indemnity insurance protection if I already have general liability insurance? Why should I even mess with it? What possible reason can I have to need it, if I already have this other policy in place? These are really good questions to ask, and business owners do it every day. The problem comes around when they are not asking that question of a qualified insurance agent, but their buddy down the road over a beer. You should ask what professional liability insurance is all about, but ask a good agent. They are going to know the benefits that accrue to you when you have one in place.

Professional liability insurance or errors and omissions insurance is a great policy to have in addition to general liability insurance. It covers a very small area, but one that is great to have covered just in case it comes up (and it always does). What professional liability insurance is set up to give you coverage for is this: loss that is purely financial in form. This is loss that comes about when something goes wrong and stops someone from being able to make income.

It is not about property damage or bodily harm, just about loss of money. This is where you want to have prepared for this time by sitting down with a good agent and discussing the ins and outs of this kind of policy. Having professional liability insurance will always pay off.
