Claim Scenarios for Legal Services
GL CLAIM EXAMPLE
Bodily injury:
A client is leaving the offices of your small law firm on a winter day. The client slips and falls on the sidewalk outside the office. Your law firm is found liable for her injuries because you failed to adequately clear the sidewalks. General liability insurance protects against third-party claims of bodily injury, associated medical costs, and potential legal action.
PL CLAIM EXAMPLE
Negligence:
You are the owner of a document preparation company. One
of your employees is assisting the human resources department of a large company in transitioning their paper files to an electronic system. The employee accidentally shreds numerous documents before they are scanned correctly and the company is later sued for failing to maintain the proper documentation. The client company makes a claim against your document preparation firm. 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.
