Why do Lawyers need Professional Liability Insurance?
The law industry is highly regulated and there are structured guidelines and standards that are to be adhered to by all practicing lawyers. Even if you’re an expert in your profession, mistakes happen. And if your client or customer thinks a mistake in your professional services caused a financial loss, they can and likely will sue you.
The damages resulting from malpractice lawsuits can easily become so great as to potentially lead to the bankruptcy of your firm. Professional liability insurance helps cover you and your firm if you make a mistake in your professional services. This coverage is also known as errors and omissions insurance (E&O) or in some countries as professional indemnity insurance.
