WHAT IS PLI? Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) protects organizations and individuals from claims arising from the delivery of your professional services. It protects against liability arising from accusations of negligence or the failure to deliver the services expected of them. If a client of yours felt that you may have breached your professional duties to them, they might demand financial compensation for having failed in your responsibilities to them. The insurance itself often takes on different names depending on the professional services it represents. In medicine, it is called Malpractice Insurance.
