You strive to run your business perfectly, but mistakes can happen. If a mistake leads to a financial loss for your client, they can sue your business. That's why it's important to have professional liability insurance (PLI). If your business gets sued, PLI can help cover your legal costs.
 
Some states require certain types of businesses to carry PLI. Your clients or contractors may also require you to have this coverage before agreeing to work with you.
 
If you work directly with customers or give professional advice, it’s important to have PLI. This coverage can also be referred to as errors and omissions insurance. To learn more about professional liability insurance, look at the FAQs below.
