What is the difference between professional liability and general liability insurance? 

General liability insurance covers physical harm: bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury claims. Professional liability insurance covers financial harm from your work, such as errors, missed deadlines, or advice that costs a client money. Most professional service businesses carry both, because neither policy responds to the other’s claims.
