Good to know

Claims-made

Professional liability usually covers claims made while the policy is in force, so continuous cover matters.

Per claim and aggregate

Limits apply to each claim and to the total for the policy year.

Contract requirements

Many clients require proof of liability cover before signing.

Usually not covered

  • Intentional or criminal acts
  • Contractual penalties you agreed to
  • Known claims before the policy started
  • Your own property

Related cover

Many clients combine policies so there are no gaps between them.

Every policy has its own terms, limits and exclusions, set by the insurer. We explain them in plain language before you buy.
