Alberta Professional Liability Insurance

Top professional liability insurance brokers in Alberta

If your business offers professional services or advice, you run the risk of being sued if a client blames you for any financial loss. Professional liability insurance (also known as errors & omissions insurance) helps protect you and your business from bearing the financial burden of a lawsuit. Without this protection, you could face extensive legal expenses that could seriously impact and even bankrupt your business – even if you’re not found legally liable.

While you likely have a commercial general liability insurance policy, these will not cover claims against your professional services or advice. That’s why professional liability insurance is essential if you provide a service or offer professional advice.

Fortunately, Acera Insurance offers professional liability insurance. Trusted brokers in Alberta for decades, we have a hands-on, human-first approach to insurance that sets us apart from other brokerages. As one of the largest independent brokerages in Canada, we have the resources and expertise to find you the right professional liability insurance.

What’s covered by a professional liability insurance policy in Alberta?

A professional liability insurance helps protect you in the event a third party claims financial loss as a result of your service or professional advice – or your failure to provide it. Whether you’re to blame or not, you’d still need to cover your legal expenses. Professional liability insurance can help reduce that financial burden, as it may cover your defence costs, settlements, and awards up to your policy limit.

Keep in mind that you’ll still be required to pay a deductible. Your policy limit applies across your policy term (a 12 month period) and is not per incident. The level of coverage you choose depends on a few factors:
