Most recently, the company has added Professional Liability for Lawyers in Alabama and New Mexico, for Accountants in Arizona and Illinois, and for Architects and Engineers in Missouri.

An unintended error or omission while performing the job could have serious consequences for a business. Due to perceived – or real – negligence, a dissatisfied customer or third-party could pursue litigation, putting a firm’s finances and reputation in danger.
