Why do you need Designers Professional Liability Insurance?
Professional designers are increasingly vulnerable to the possibility of a lawsuit as they perform their professional services. Claims can be brought against you for a number of reasons including: advice given to clients on proper décor for a building; changes or modifications in design plans; errors in materials used; improper spatial designs; failure to obtain client’s written consent to design or materials change and more. Whether valid or not, a claim for professional errors or omissions could result in an expensive court action, not to mention the possibility of a large judgment if an award is rendered against you.
Professional Liability coverage is not provided by a Commercial General Liability policy. Commercial General Liability does NOT provide coverage for errors, contract performance disputes or any other Professional Liability issues.
