Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about

Professional Liability Insurance

Do I need professional liability insurance if I already have general liability?

Yes, if your business gives advice, designs, or performs a service. General liability covers bodily injury and property damage; professional liability covers claims about the quality or outcome of your work. They protect against different risks, so most service businesses carry both.

What does professional liability insurance cover?

Professional liability insurance protects your business against claims of negligence, errors or missed deadlines while providing a service — even honest mistakes can lead to a costly lawsuit. It typically covers legal defense costs and settlements tied to your work, which general liability doesn't cover.

Who do I contact if I have a question that isn't covered here?

Reach out to our customer service team directly at 833.929.0523, or fill out our contact form, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
