A certificate of professional liability insurance is a document that provides proof of coverage and summarizes important information about your professional liability insurance policy.
When your business secures a professional liability insurance policy, you'll receive a certificate of insurance. This certificate contains key information about your policy and provides proof of insurance to your clients and licensing boards. This document can also lead to more business opportunities.
A certificate of liability insurance is a document that certifies that your company has business liability insurance such as professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
A certificate of insurance (COI) is not a legal document. It's more like an insurance card you carry in your wallet. But unlike an insurance card, a professional liability certificate of insurance provides a concise summary of your coverage, all on one page.
A professional liability certificate of insurance can open up business opportunities.
The information provided by the certificate of insurance falls into the following categories:
The top of the certificate identifies your business as the insured along with your business name and contact information. It also lists the insurance company providing your coverage.
The main section of the certificate outlines your business's insurance coverage, including your policy number, policy limits, deductible, and the effective date and expiration date of your coverage. It'll also outline coverage details, such as claims-made coverage in the case of professional liability.
Your certificate may also specify the work your business does. For professional liability insurance, this defines the scope of your coverage (e.g., an architect is covered for designing buildings, but not for providing legal advice).
