The coverage focuses on alleged failure to perform on the part of, financial loss caused by, and error or omission in the service or product sold by the policyholder. These are causes for legal action that would not be covered by a more general liability insurance policy which addresses more direct forms of harm. Professional liability coverage sometimes also provides for the defense costs, including when legal action turns out to be groundless. Coverage does not include criminal prosecution, nor a wide range of potential liabilities under civil law that are not enumerated in the policy, but which may be subject to other forms of insurance. Professional liability insurance is required by law in some areas for certain kinds of professional practice (especially medical and legal), and is also sometimes required under contract by other businesses that are the beneficiaries of the advice or service. Professional liability insurance may take on different forms and names depending on the profession. For example, in reference to medical professions it is called malpractice insurance, while errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is used by insurance agents, consultants, brokers and lawyers. Other professions that commonly purchase professional liability insurance include accounting, engineering and financial services, construction and maintenance (general contractors, plumbers, etc., many of whom are also surety bonded), and transport. Some charities and other non-profits/NGOs are also professional-liability insured. 9736 Commerce Center Court Fort Myers, FL 33908 Phone: (239) 481-1949 Fax: (239) 481-2911 Email: ContactUs@pcis-fl.com RECENT NEWS Private Client Insurance Services’ Elaine Hawkins joins International Women’s Forum SEARCH WEBSITE Search for: Copyright 2020 Private Client Insurance | All Rights Reserved Accessibility Statement | Privacy Policy
