General Liability

Cyber Liability

Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

Hypothetically, a client alleges that a missed booking or scheduling error cost them a key contract, and professional liability / E&O coverage is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
Hypothetically, a client trips over a bag at an in-person planning meeting and is injured; general liability coverage may help respond to a premises claim of this kind.

Frequently asked questions

Does a virtual assistant really need professional liability insurance?

Many do, because clients can allege that an administrative error or oversight caused a loss. Professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, is intended to respond to such claims. General liability covers separate premises risks. Terms vary by carrier and state.

I work entirely from home — does general liability still apply?

It mainly matters when you meet clients in person or visit their locations, where general liability is generally intended to respond to slip-and-fall or property-damage claims. The advisory exposure addressed by professional liability / E&O applies to remote work too.
