Covers claims of professional negligence, errors, or omissions
Legal defense and court costs coverage
Protection even if you’re not found liable
This insurance steps in when a client claims that your professional work caused a financial loss. It covers legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments arising from allegations of negligence, mistakes, or failure to perform a service as promised.
Professional Liability is particularly important for consultants, designers, accountants, tech firms, architects, and any service-based business.  However, it has boundaries. It generally does not cover bodily injury, property damage (these are covered under general liability), or criminal acts. Many policies operate on a “claims-made” basis—meaning the claim must be made while the policy is active, not years later.
