What Insurance Covers Bad Professional Advice?

Professional liability may cover a client’s claim that bad advice in a covered service caused financial loss, while intentional conduct and redo costs may be excluded.

Texas Department of Insurance describes professional liability as protection for claims arising from professional services, including mistakes that cause a client loss.

Ask whether the policy covers the specific advice and services you provide, and whether damages include refunds, rework, or contractual guarantees. Check exclusions for intentional conduct, known circumstances, and liabilities assumed only by contract.
