Schedule AppointmentWhat Is Professional Liability Insurance?
Professional liability insurance, often referred to as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, provides essential protection for businesses and individuals who offer specialized services or advice. This coverage addresses claims of professional errors, negligence, or misrepresentation that could result in financial losses for your clients. Even with meticulous work and high standards, unforeseen situations can arise. At Miller Insurance, we work closely with you to identify potential exposures and design coverage that aligns with your specific professional responsibilities.
Who Should Consider Professional Liability Insurance?
If your business provides expertise, advice, or specialized services, professional liability insurance is vital. Some professionals who benefit from this coverage include:
- Healthcare Professionals: Protection against claims of medical errors or malpractice.
- Legal Professionals: Coverage for allegations of misrepresentation or mistakes in legal advice.
- Consultants and Advisors: Safeguards for claims that recommendations led to financial losses.
- Architects and Engineers: Coverage for design flaws or project oversights resulting in costly consequences.
Our team at Miller Insurance evaluates your profession to recommend coverage that aligns with the risks specific to your industry.
Comprehensive Coverage Options
Miller Insurance offers robust professional liability policies that address a wide range of potential risks:
- Negligence Protection: Coverage for claims of professional negligence, even if unfounded.
- Defense Costs: Financial support for legal defense, helping to mitigate the burden of lawsuits.
- Error and Oversight Coverage: Protection for mistakes or omissions that may cause client losses.
- Defamation (Libel and Slander): Provides coverage for claims of harm caused by false or damaging statements made during professional services.
We collaborate with you to ensure every aspect of your business is safeguarded against professional liability claims.
How Does Professional Liability Insurance Work?
Professional liability insurance typically operates on a “claims-made” basis, meaning your policy must be active both when the work occurs and when the claim is filed. This underscores the importance of maintaining uninterrupted coverage. If you encounter a claim, Miller Insurance is here to assist. Our skilled agents guide you through every step, from understanding your policy to coordinating with insurers for a prompt resolution, allowing you to focus on your clients and business operations.

Tailored Coverage for Your Profession
Each profession faces unique challenges and risks. At Miller Insurance, we offer customizable policies that address the specific requirements of your field. Whether it’s adjusting coverage limits, adding endorsements, or accommodating high-value projects, we ensure your policy reflects the scope of your work. Our goal is to deliver protection that grows with your business, ensuring you’re ready for whatever comes your way.
Factors That Impact Your Premiums
The cost of professional liability insurance is influenced by several factors:
- Industry Risk Level: High-risk professions, such as legal or healthcare, often face higher premiums.
- Claims History: A history of prior claims can increase rates, as insurers may view these businesses as higher risk.
- Coverage Limits: Opting for higher limits offers more protection but can raise your premium.
- Experience and Credentials: Established professionals with strong qualifications may qualify for reduced rates.
Miller Insurance agents analyze these variables to help you secure affordable, comprehensive coverage tailored to your business.
Clarifying Misconceptions About E&O Insurance
Many professionals mistakenly assume general liability insurance covers all risks. However, general liability policies exclude claims arising from professional errors or advice. Professional liability insurance fills this gap, offering critical protection for issues unique to service-based industries. At Miller Insurance, we ensure you understand the differences, providing coverage recommendations that address your specific professional risks.
