# Professional Liability

_Glossary_

Canonical: https://www.claimspages.com/learn/glossary/professional-liability/

Coverage for financial loss to others caused by negligent acts, errors, or omissions in professional services.

Professional liability (malpractice for medical, E&O for many fields) covers economic harm from faulty advice or service, not usually bodily injury (which may fall under GL exclusions for professional services). It is typically claims-made.



An architect's flawed plans delay a project and cause extra costs; the owner sues for economic loss — E&O responds.
