The cost of professional liability insurance can vary greatly based on several factors:
Different industries face different levels of risk. Greater risk will typically mean a higher premium.
Larger businesses or those with higher revenues may pay higher premiums.
If you have a history of no claims, you may have a less expensive premium.
The higher the coverage limits you choose, the more expensive your premium will be.
If your work involves high-risk activities or high-value clients, you may pay more for coverage.
Your premium will vary based on many factors. That’s why having an insurance broker in your corner is so important. They’ll take the time to get to know you, understand your business, and find coverage that protects you at a price that’s fair. Contact BrokerLink today for a personalized quote.
Some professional regulatory bodies in Canada may require professionals to carry specific levels of insurance. It's important to check with industry-specific regulators to ensure compliance.
Most professional liability policies in Canada are "claims-made," meaning they cover claims made during the policy period, even if the error occurred prior to the coverage start date, as long as the claim is filed while the policy is active. It’s important to understand this distinction when choosing a policy.
