What is Covered Professional Liability Insurance in Texas?

Professional liability insurance in Texas, also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, is a crucial form of business insurance designed to protect Texas professionals and businesses from claims of negligence, errors, and omissions in their work.

Key Protection Features:

  • Legal Defense & Fees: Complete coverage for your legal representation, whether claims are valid or unfounded
  • Settlement Coverage: Financial protection for client settlements and judgment awards
  • Regulatory Shield: Protection against applicable industry fines and penalties
  • Intellectual Property Protection: Coverage for copyright infringement and related disputes
  • Professional Mistakes: Coverage for service delivery failures and unmet client expectations
  • Reputation Defense: Protection against claims of defamation, including libel and slander

Whether you're a Texas accountant, lawyer, healthcare provider, or consultant, professional liability insurance is essential for safeguarding your professional services and ensuring your business remains secure against potential legal challenges. 

 

What Is Not Covered?

Professional liability insurance is comprehensive, but it doesn't cover everything. Typical exclusions include:

  • Intentional wrongdoing or criminal acts
  • Employee injuries (covered by workers' compensation)
  • Property damage (covered by general liability insurance)
  • Personal business debts or expenses
  • Claims made outside your policy period

Our helpful agents will guide you through these complexities with confidence. We'll partner with you to build a robust coverage strategy that protects your business from every angle, ensuring no gaps leave you vulnerable.

Professional Liability Coverage vs. General Liability

Understanding the difference between professional liability coverage and general liability coverage is crucial for any business. Professional liability coverage protects businesses against claims of professional negligence, errors, and omissions, ensuring that your professional services are safeguarded. On the other hand, general liability coverage protects businesses against physical risks, such as bodily injuries and property damage.

While both types of insurance are important, they serve different purposes and are not interchangeable. Businesses that provide professional services need professional liability insurance to protect against claims of professional negligence, while those with physical risks need general liability insurance to cover bodily injuries and property damage. Having both types of coverage ensures comprehensive protection for your business.

 

Understanding Self-Insurance Options

While traditional insurance coverage is essential for most businesses, there are situations where self-insurance might make strategic sense for specific risks. Self-insurance requires careful analysis of your financial capacity, risk tolerance, and long-term business strategy.

The Thumann Agency helps you make informed decisions by:

  • Analyzing your business's financial strength and risk exposure

  • Identifying which risks are best suited for self-insurance vs. traditional coverage

  • Creating a balanced risk management strategy that protects your bottom line

  • Providing ongoing support as your business evolves

Our experienced team will work closely with you to understand your unique business operations, helping you find the right balance between self-insured and traditionally insured risks. This personalized approach ensures you're never over-insured or carrying unnecessary coverage while maintaining robust protection where it matters most.
