Why Miscellaneous Professional Liability?
In today’s increasingly litigious world, businesses are facing more risks than ever — you can be sued over simply failing to meet a client’s expectations. Even if you’re not at fault, you can still incur costly legal fees and other expenses just to defend your business — and reputation — against the claims.
