Coverage context

What this coverage question means.

Miscellaneous professional liability commonly addresses claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions in the performance of professional services. The operative definition of professional services, exclusions, contractual exposure, and the insured's actual work matter more than the label on the business.

Class context. Licensed daycares and preschools, ages 2+. Infant care referred separately.

Terms depend on the policy and account
