Did you know that liability insurance is not just there to help you protect you against physical damage? What many people don’t realize is that there is something called professional liability insurance and its main focus is to protect financially. What you should understand is that liability insurance for working professionals is there to make sure that if you are liable for a mistake you made that you won’t lose all your money because of it.
The reason I say that liability insurance can save your career is because it actually can. If you are a lawyer or an accountant and you make a mistake on a form for one of your clients, this will most likely result in some kind of lawsuit towards you and your business. This is never a good way to do things and that is why having the mistake financially covered by an insurance company will save everything that you have done up to this point. Whether or not you have a lot of clients won’t matter, it only takes one client and one mistake to put you backwards financially.
When dealing with clients there is always a need to protect yourself but people who don’t deal with clients directly still need to do this. For instance, if you are an engineer and you create something for somebody that doesn’t work or forces a loss of money, you will be responsible for it. Just because you don’t deal with clients doesn’t mean you can be held accountable for what you did. This is why getting professional liability insurance is a must no matter what profession you are in.
Do I think that everybody needs professional liability insurance, yes. Without some form of professional liability insurance you will be risking a lot of things that you won’t be able to get back as easily.
