Description

Professional Liability Insurance provides actionable recommendations and useful insight into errors and omissions, professional, and management liability exposures and insurance. It gives a helpful overview of the exposures that lead to the need of various types of insurance and follows with detailed analyses of how various policies cover or don't cover them.

Using its market directory, thorough policy descriptions and analyses, discussions of common problems and pitfalls, and summaries of underwriting considerations, any insurance professional can confidently evaluate, negotiate, and arrange almost any type of professional, errors and omissions (E&O), or management liability insurance program.
