PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

Professional Liability Overview

North Shore, Boston & New England Professionals who operate their own businesses need professional liability insurance in addition to their in-home business or business owners’ policy. It’s important to protect your business against liability from lawsuits and damages. There are many types of industry-specific professional liability policies depending on your type of business. A professional liability insurance policy from Phil Richard can prepare you and your company in the event that you are subjected to a professional liability claim.

Professional Liability Key Facts

Professionals who provide services or advice are at risk if they fail to perform the services for which they were hired, or to meet the standards of conduct expected in their particular industry.
When liability is limited to acts of negligence, professional liability insurance may be called, “errors and omissions” liability.
Professional liability is a specialty coverage not provided under homeowners’ endorsements, in-home business policies or business owners’ policies.

Karyn A. April 19, 2017

Over the last year my husband and son’s vehicle have been involved in a few accidents. I have had to call/stop by the office to inquire about how or why the claims are not being dealt with on a timely manner. The receptionist, Kat, is always happy to refer me to someone who can get answers for me and that someone is usually Mary. No matter how busy she maybe she’s always takes the time to find the answers I need. She is so pleasant and helpful no matter how many times I stop in. I look forward to speaking with her because I know she will always do her best to get to the bottom of my issues. I truly appreciate the time and energy she affords whenever I stop by. Thank You Mary.

Susan April 19, 2017

I was referred to Phil Richard Insurance from a friend. I wanted a second opinion as I have a number of property and casualty insurance policies. Phil’s team, in particular Cindy, evaluated my needs and came back with recommendations. The insurance companies they proposed were top notch, they suggested some improvements to the coverage relative to what I had, and it was going to cost me less; so I moved all my policies over. I am very happy, look forward to a long relationship, and will be recommending Phil to my friends and clients.
