HOME INSPECTOR
INSURANCE PRIMER
 

Q: Why do I need both "Professional Liability" and "General Liability" insurance?

A: "General Liability" provides coverage while you are performing the inspection and at your office. You have two exposures while you are performing the inspection:
(1) Property Damage, such as your ladder falling over and breaking the windshield of the homeowner's auto; and
(2) Bodily Injury, such as your ladder falling over and hitting the homeowners child on the head.
These are the types of exposures for which you purchase insurance.

"Professional Liability" provides coverage for actual or alleged errors & omissions in your Inspection Report. Again, you have two exposures:
(1) Property Damage, for example you may have missed a leaking roof'; and
(2) Bodily Injury, a basement stair riser is several inches different than the rest, you didn't report it, and the buyer's child falls down the steps suffering injury.
As you can see, Bodily Injury exposure is the one with the greatest potential for large claim settlements.

 

Q: Are separate limits for "Professional Liability" and "General Liability" important?

A: YES! Very Important! When you have one limit for both types of insurance, you expose yourself to using up your policy aggregate. If you have a large Professional Liability settlement you may have no insurance for a serious General Liability claim.
