In everyday language, financial loss liability is often referred to as professional liability insurance. In the following article we will use the term “professional liability insurance” to make it easier to read.
Features of professional liability insurance
Compensation for damages: In the event of damage, professional liability insurance pays compensation in the amount of the damage incurred, but up to a maximum of the agreed insured sum.
Insured activities: In addition to the “classic” legal activity, other “lawyer-related” activities are also insured, such as activities in the context of the execution of wills and estate administration, in guardianship and care, as an arbitrator, mediator or notary representative.
Insurance premiums: In addition to the sum insured, the amount of the premiums often depends on the respective legal specialty, a deductible and the fee income on an annual basis. Particularly favorable conditions are possible for start-ups and in-house lawyers.
