Do You Need Professional Insurance?
Professional insurance isn’t something reserved for the select few in business in the state of New York. More and more professionals in a wide range of fields are discovering that this is an essential component of your insurance and financial protection.
The standard business owner’s policy, or BOP, does not offer protection against professional liability claims made against you. This means you’ll be on your own for the legal and financial fallout of these claims without a standalone policy that specifically addresses your professional liability protection.
Many different types of NY professionals need liability insurance protection. However, professionals in the following fields cannot afford to operate without this critical coverage that protects your financial assets:
- Accountants
- Attorneys
- Dentists
- Physicians
Defending yourself and your organization against claims made against you, by itself, can be financially devastating. Your professional liability insurance helps you cover these costs along with any judgments awarded against you.
Why these industries specifically?
- Professionals in your field are often unpleasantly surprised to learn their BOPs do not protect them from professional liability claims. Unfortunately, financial mistakes or accidents in your industry can prove costly. However, you can have a claim made against you, through no fault of your own, by unscrupulous clients hoping for a payday. Professional liability offers protection in these instances as well.
- Because you offer advice about matters of personal, physical, and financial importance, malpractice misrepresentation claims are quite common in your industry. You know, all too well, that juries are fickle and legal expenses can add up quickly. Professional liability protection can help protect you from financial losses that could be catastrophic.
- Regardless of the specific type of dentistry you practice, you’re working on a very sensitive thing for your patients, their smiles. When things go wrong, or people do not get their anticipated results, the first reaction is often a legal action, which can cost your practice big time if you don’t have sufficient professional liability coverage.
- Your mission is to bring healing to as many people as possible. Sometimes, you’re simply unable to deliver the desired results. Sometimes, mistakes happen. When things go wrong, regardless of who was at fault, the people injured or left behind often look for someone to blame and hold responsible. This is why it is essential for medical professionals, especially physicians, to have solid professional liability protection.
There are a few key elements you should seek when buying a professional liability insurance policy. The most critical issue, aside from the amount of coverage you receive from your insurer, is perhaps obtaining an agreement that your insurer will never settle a claim without gaining your consent before doing so.
