Professional liability coverage helps protect against occupation-specific risks, like a professional error or a negligent omission. These situations can occur when the yoga instructor does something wrong or is accused of doing something that results in harm or damage to another individual.
General liability coverage is designed for generic risky situations, like a slip or fall. These circumstances are not tied to a specific profession but could occur in any occupation. General liability claims can arise when there is perceived negligence, creating a hazardous situation or environment that causes harm or damage to another individual.
