You may not be provided with coverage for lost wage reimbursement, licensing board hearing reimbursement and defense costs.
You may not be covered outside of the workplace, such as when you engage in volunteer or part-time work.

What is Professional Liability Insurance?

Professional Liability Insurance protects you against covered claims arising from real or alleged errors or omissions, including negligence, in the course of your professional duties. Remember, legal defense and settlement costs are paid in addition to your limits of liability.

What would having a personal Professional Liability Insurance Plan give me?

In the event of a lawsuit, your own Professional Liability Insurance policy would:

Provide you with your own attorney.
Pay all reasonable costs incurred in the defense or investigation of a covered claim.
Pay you for lost wages.
Provide reimbursement if licensing board issues were involved.
Pay court costs and settlements in addition to the limits of liability.
