Essential Coverage; One Simple Policy
Last year, we expanded our professional liability offering to 18 additional classes, which means you can offer this valuable protection to over 30 classes – including accountants, bookkeepers and consultants. A real time-saver, coverage is easily added by endorsement to our Spectrum® Business Owner's Policy (BOP) and requires little or no underwriting review for most of the expansion classes.
 
Modeled after how coverage is offered on many stand-alone policies, our program for the expansion classes includes:
  • Class-specific endorsements that reflect the professional services provided by a wide range of professional services companies
  • Greater flexibility through a broad range of limit and deductible options
  • Opportunity to help maximize protection with Extended Reporting Period¹ and Defense in Addition to Limits² options
Also consider that selling both business liability and professional liability through The Hartford can help:
  • Ensure coverage is coordinated in the event of a claim
  • Eliminate coverage disputes with another carrier if a claim could potentially trigger either policy
  • Reduce insurance program administration with the simplicity of one policy and the convenience of one bill

¹ Availability and options vary by state; coverage must be requested and approved. The claim must arise out of the wrongful act or personal injury that occurred on or after the retroactive date and prior to the end of the policy period.
 
² Some states require that defense costs limits be offered in addition to damage limits. As such, defense in addition to limits will be included automatically with professional liability coverage in those states.
