Myrtle Beach Professional Liability Insurance
Most business owners understand that a general liability policy offers only basic financial protection at a specified amount to financially protect their organizations against claims made for bodily injury and/or property damage. Yet even with this type of standard insurance coverage, your business in Myrtle Beach may still be vulnerable to costly lawsuits when claims involving negligence arise. The Insurance House of Myrtle Beach provides professional liability insurance coverage and customizes your policy to fit the particular needs of your profession or industry.
Besides negligence standard insurances often do not cover:
- Misrepresentation
- Violation of good faith or fair dealing
- Inaccurate advice
In these cases, you or an employee can be sued with no financial coverage. Leading you to have to pay out of pocket which can lead to financial stress or at worst bankruptcy.
