PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY (PL)
Also known as errors and omissions, or E&O, coverage, this protects you from claims of negligence during the course of conducting business. You’re protected even if you haven’t made a mistake.
GENERAL LIABILITY (GL)
Protects your business from a third party’s claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury like slander and libel.
PL CLAIM EXAMPLE
Dissatisfied client:
As a bookkeeper, you are required to hand over your client’s records to their accountant at tax time. The accountant discovers that the client owes a large amount in taxes. The client alleges that your bookkeeping methods resulted in the large tax debt, and files a claim. Professional liability insurance protects against claims of negligence, and will appoint an attorney to defend you if needed, even if you haven’t made a mistake.
GL CLAIM EXAMPLE
Property damage:
You are an auditor working at a client site, using the client’s computer. You accidentally spill a can of soda on the client’s laptop computer, damaging it beyond repair. The client makes a claim for the cost to replace the computer. General liability insurance protects against third-party claims of property damage, bodily injury, and associated medical costs.
