For example, slips and falls in a parking lot, or a contractor dropping a hammer from a scaffolding, injuring someone.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>secondly, <strong>Property Damage<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that you cause to the property of others. For example, your crew knocks over a valuable vase while cleaning someone&#8217;s home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>thirdly, <strong>Personal Injury<\/strong>, such as slander, libel or invasion of privacy. For instance, a realtor walks into an occupied apartment without warning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and finally, <strong>Products and Completed Operations Liability<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 in case your product or work harms someone or their property. An example: a diner gets food poisoning after eating in your restaurant, or your roofing job fails, causing water damage at someone&#8217;s house. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, general liability insurance pays your legal defense costs against these types of suits &#8211; even if you did nothing wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Professional Liability Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional liability insurance, sometimes called E&amp;O insurance, protects against claims of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Negligence<\/strong> &#8211; for example, a real estate agent fails to disclose a defect in a property, or  a planning consultant who misses an important regulation, causing their client to incur large penalties. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improper or Inadequate work<\/strong> &#8211; for instance, copyright infringement, improper design, or a clerical error that costs your client money. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like general liability, professional liability insurance also pays legal defense costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Need E&amp;O Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional liability is a hazard in almost any profession. Some of the most common ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Architects and engineers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accountants, attorneys and bookkeepers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beauticians, tattoo parlors and other personal service providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Condominium and non-profit boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consultants and coaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IT professionals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketers, creatives, drafters and designers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical and health care professionals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real estate and property managers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Liability Insurance Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noyeshallallen.com\/professional-liability-insurance.html\">Maine professional liability insurance<\/a>&nbsp;questions,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.noyeshallallen.com\/policy-services\/contact-my-agent\/\">contact a Noyes Hall &amp; Allen agent<\/a>&nbsp;for prompt, professional answers.
