According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy (SBA) There are 313,257 small businesses in Nevada which account for 99.2% of the total number of the sate businesses. Small businesses have contributed more than 143,850 new jobs to the state’s economy. They are therefore an important driver for Nevada’s economic expansion.

Nevada’s top five industries for small businesses include:

  1. Health Care and Social Assistance
  2. Accommodation and Food Services
  3. Construction
  4. Professional, Scientific and Technical Services
  5. Retail

As increasing numbers of small-scale companies take advantage of the booming Nevada economy, many will find that they may require an insurance plan to safeguard their expanding enterprise. Businesses can look at safeguarding their work with Professional Liability insurance.

What is Professional Liability insurance?

Also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, this type of policy protects your business against claims of negligence, misrepresentations, or mistakes. Professional Liability claims are typically made by clients who allege some form of financial damage as a result of your services, products or employees.

What does Professional Liability insurance cover in Nevada?

Even when a claim appears unfounded, legal fees and court costs can still amount to thousands of dollars. Small-scale business owners could feel the financial impact on their company and unfortunately face business closures and bankruptcy could result from liability claims.

Depending on the type of coverage you choose, and the limit agreed in your insurance contract, Professional Liability insurance may protect your business from:

  • Legal costs Finding a an experienced legal professional isn’t an easy task. Lawyers usually charge an hourly fee.
  • Court Expenses– This includes filing documentation in court, underwriting fees and administrative expenses.
  • Settlements It is possible to avoid drawn out litigation. But, based on the advice of your attorney, you will still need to make a payment.
  • Judgments You will need to pay the amount of the court if the case goes to trial.

Importantly, Professional Liability insurance in Nevada may cover you even if not the one to blame. Baseless claims can be equally costly to settle as claims that have merit. A Professional Liability policy will protect your business and professional reputation by paying for the above, so you are not with a huge bill for these expenses.

What is not included?

Professional Liability insurance may protect companies from common risks but it may not protect against all risks. Take some time to consider other forms of insurance for specific events, like:

  • Damage to property or loss of commercial premises
  • The property of a client or another third party
  • Work-related illness or injury for employees
  • Injuries to third parties on your premises
  • Business interruptions

BizInsure will provide additional insurance to safeguard your business from these risks and others that small-sized businesses are exposed to. Small-scale business owners might want to consider General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, or a Business Owner’s insurance policy to safeguard themselves from a wide variety of potential risks.

Nevada professionals might require professional insurance for liability. The professions covered by this insurance include, but are not limited:
