Insurance by coverage

Professional liability insurance for cannabis businesses

Professional liability review focuses on financial harm alleged to result from advice, services, or errors rather than bodily injury or product injury alone. The submission should describe the work and the standard the client expects the business to meet.

Coverage and availability depend on the account, state, insurer and underwriting review. General information and nonbinding indications do not bind insurance; the applicable binder, policy, endorsements and law govern coverage.

Important insurance information

This guide is general information and does not determine coverage or legal requirements for your business. Policy terms, exclusions, conditions and available options vary. Contact the appropriate licensed insurance representative about your account, request confirmation of any coverage placed, and review the applicable insurance documents. An application, inquiry or nonbinding indication does not by itself bind or change insurance.
