Where Businesses Often Leave Gaps

  • Assuming general liability covers professional mistakes when it typically does not.
  • Underestimating the cost of legal defense, even for unfounded claims.
  • Failing to adjust coverage limits as operations expand.
  • Overlooking contract requirements that mandate professional liability insurance.

Identifying these gaps early prevents larger financial strain later.
