PLI coverage for Vancouver new media specialists
Digital media specialists need to meet deadlines and expectations set by clients. A client may decide to sue you if they feel you have caused them financial loss as a result of your work. Professional liability insurance helps cover your legal expenses if a third party sues you for causing them financial loss arising from your professional service or advice.
EasyCover offers three coverage limits: $1 million, $2 million and $5 million. This is the maximum amount your policy will pay out over the 12-month term, irrespective of the number of claims you have made.
Our policies may include retroactive cover, which means you may be covered for claims made during the policy period for incidents that occurred before your policy start date. You will be asked to disclose any potential claims.
