Why Liability Insurance Is Worth Buying for Claims Adjusters

In your personal life, you’ve probably given a friend or family member bad advice. It can happen, and it’s no big deal. But in your professional life as an Independent Claims Adjuster, giving bad advice can have serious financial and reputational consequences. 

That’s why Wingspan offers Claims Adjusters the ability to purchase Professional & General Liability Insurance, which is underwritten by Evanston Insurance Company, a Markel company. In this article, you’ll learn what Professional and General Liability Insurance is and how it safeguards you and your business.

What is Professional & General Liability Insurance?

Professional & General Liability Insurance protects your work and reputation. Let’s break down how it does this.

Professional Liability Insurance can help if you:

• are involved in a TCPA or FCRA violation (additional coverage required)

General Liability Insurance can help if you:

• cause property damage
• cause third-party bodily injury

Here’s more of what you need to know about the policy:

• This is a claims-made policy, meaning that claims must be first made and reported during the policy period (or any applicable extended reporting period) 
• Coverage is subject to policy terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions
• Available to eligible Independent Claims Adjusters
• Surplus lines notice where applicable; coverage may not be subject to state guaranty funds

Does Professional & General Liability Insurance protect you financially?

• up to $1,000,000 per claim or $2,000,000 in aggregate
