MISCELLANEOUS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY (MPL)

NEGLIGENCE HAPPENS.

The average Miscellaneous Professional Liability (MPL) claim is $38,300 and rising.

Whether serving as an independent consultant or leading a promising new startup, professional service firms are never immune from the potential for a professional liability lawsuit from a dissatisfied client. Indeed, human error in the form of missed deadlines, misrepresentations or inaccurate advice that negatively impacts a client’s bottom line can result in claims with significant financial consequences — especially for a small or mid-sized firm. For example, the average claim for an inspection consultant can easily exceed $20,000 and that for a claims adjustor is $46,400.

After 20+ years underwriting MPL and partnering with top insurance syndicates and carriers, Business Risk Partners has developed extensive knowledge about the many exposures facing today’s multitude of service providers — all told 300 classes of business and counting! From an environmental credit trader to a wage and hour compliance officer, an automation engineer consulting with a world-class motorcycle manufacturer to a social media data mining company that examines the online practices of job candidates, we craft the coverage private businesses need for professional liability insurance. If your client is operating in an emerging area of business few have heard about, don’t worry, we’ll thoroughly investigate and work with you to craft appropriate coverage
