Professional Liability FAQs

  • Is professional liability the same as general liability?

    No. General liability covers physical risks like injuries or property damage. Professional liability covers service-based risks like errors, bad advice, or failure to deliver.

  • Is it legally required?

    It depends on your industry. Even when not required, many contracts demand proof of coverage before work begins.

  • What’s the difference between E&O and professional liability?

    They’re often used interchangeably. E&O is simply another name for professional liability insurance.

  • Does this cover me for past work?

    It can—if your policy includes retroactive coverage. We’ll help you understand how to structure this protection.
