Professional Liability traditionally referred to errors and omissions, or malpractice insurance, but can have broader meanings today. Professional Liability could result from errors with your work, decisions made by your board of directors, or wrongful acts that affect your employees or third parties. Knowing your exposures and purchasing adequate professional liability insurance can help protect the financial security of your company, public entity, or non profit organization. Professional liability varies significantly between companies making it critical to hire the right insurance firm who will take time to fully research options to meet your needs.
Privacy Security
If you have a thriving business you are susceptible to privacy breach in spite of the numerous firewalls and redundancies you have built into your systems. Knowing your risks, implementing preventative measures, and properly training your employees is a great way to minimize your vulnerabilities. However, after a breach you will need to immediately hire networking professionals, handle notification requirements, pay fines, penalties, and legal fees, absorb lost income, and hire a public relations firm to help preserve the good name you have worked so hard to build. All this and you still have clients to serve, deadlines to meet, and a business to run. Let us take some of the risk and burden off of you, and place it with a reputable insurance company who specializes in handling breach events.

Simple strategies like return to work programs, and understanding what impacts your experience modifier, will help you take the appropriate steps to minimize your loss and get your injured work back on the job.
