Even the most skilled professionals can face claims of negligence, bad advice, or failure to deliver promised results.
Professional liability insurance protects you from the legal costs and damages that can arise when a client believes your services caused them harm, whether or not it’s true.
At Trailstone, we tailor coverage to your specific profession, giving you the financial protection you need to focus on your work, not on defending it.
Your expertise is your business, but it only takes one claim of negligence, bad advice, or a missed detail to put it all at risk. Professional liability insurance steps in when a client disputes your work, covering the legal costs, settlements, and judgments so one misunderstanding does not undo years of building your reputation.
Professional liability applies to service errors, contract disputes, and even misunderstandings that cause a client financial harm.
The right policy covers attorney fees and defense costs, allowing you to respond quickly and professionally to any claim.
From consultants and contractors to healthcare providers and creative professionals, anyone who offers expertise or advice can benefit from this protection.
A professional liability policy can help cover the high costs of defending your reputation and your business:
Allegations that your work failed to meet industry standards or caused financial harm.
Claims that you provided inaccurate or misleading information that led to a client’s loss.
Coverage when a client says your guidance or recommendations caused them harm.
Legal defense if you’re accused of failing to meet contractual or professional obligations.
Protection if you’re accused of acting in a way that undermined a client’s trust or contractual expectations.
Attorney fees, court costs, and settlements, even if the claim is unfounded.
Many business owners believe if they deliver high quality work, they will never face a lawsuit. The reality is, you can be sued even when you have done nothing wrong.
A client who suffers a financial loss can still allege negligence or an error in your work. Defending yourself takes time and money, and without coverage, those costs come directly from your business and personal assets.
Professional liability insurance is not about expecting mistakes. It is about being prepared for the claims you cannot see coming.

Defense costs often exceed $50,000–$100,000, even for smaller businesses. Larger industries like healthcare or finance can see claims in the millions.
For many industries, coverage can start the same day. More complex fields (like medicine or law) may take a few days for underwriting.
