Why do I need insurance?
When you face a lawsuit, the costs can be staggering. Even if you are found not liable, the associated legal fees can pose a significant financial burden to your organization. Professional liability insurance provides vital financial support that will mitigate the financial burden of the legal process. Please note that this coverage will not diminish the likelihood of a potential lawsuit against your organization, but will ensure you are more prepared should one occur.
In addition, it’s important to note that having professional liability insurance does not make you any more likely to be sued than if you did not carry coverage. It simply makes you more prepared if a lawsuit is brought against you.
