Q. What is the difference between professional liability insurance and general liability insurance on your policy?

Our unique policy provides both Professional Liability insurance (errors and omissions insurance)  for professional negligence of your business and General liability for bodily injury, mental injury, illness or death for which you are legally liable.

Professional Liability insurance protects your business if there's ever a discrepancy between the services you provide and your client's expectations. Understanding the specific risks you face as an IT business, we can customize this insurance by adding software copyright infringement coverage to most of our IT insurance policies.

General liability insurance - All technology service providers should seriously consider general liability coverage. It protects you from third-party claims arising from bodily injury (slips and falls), personal injury (libel or slander), and damage to someone else's property. In other words, it covers all non professional liability exposures associated with serving clients. For example, the liability for clients falling and being injured which arises out of the insured's conduct.
