Coverage in case of a lawsuit

  • General liability insurance to cover the legal costs to defend you should you be sued for having caused bodily injury or physical damage to a third party. If the Court finds you guilty of negligence, the Insurer will also pay the indemnity to the harmed person.

Example: the owner of your rented shop sues you for damages to the building following a fire that started in your shop.

  • Errors & Omissions insurance because if you do appraisals no one is immune from a lawsuit, whether it is justified or not, for having caused a financial loss resulting from a professional error. The Insurer will pay legal expenses to defend you in case of a lawsuit, and the indemnity if the Court finds you responsible for the loss suffered by the plaintiff.

Example: An artwork appraised too low might cause financial damage to a client resulting in a lawsuit, whether the claim is true or alleged.
