What is professional liability insurance?
Professional liability protects the company and the professionals providing a service against claims from third parties.
Coverage features
For the policy to be triggered, property or personal damage need not arise. It can be pure economic loss.
It is the equivalent of product liability cover, but this time it applies to services.
We recommend Professional Liability insurance for companies whose core business is providing services or technical advice: engineering firms, consultancies, audit firms, law firms, architecture practices, technology services and software development companies, healthcare providers and agencies.
How do we work professional liability?
We offer coverage for each type of activity.
Depending on the turnover, the risk of the activity carried out, the scope of action and the type of clients of the insured, we advise on the limit and sub-limits of indemnity to be contracted.
We analyse the risk and recommend an appropriate geographical, jurisdictional and temporal scope.
We work closely with policyholders to analyse the situation in their activity and proactively propose improvements to the coverages contracted.
