What is Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida?
+
-

Professional Indemnity Insurance, also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance in Florida, protects professionals against claims of negligence or inadequate work. It's crucial for Florida-based service providers such as lawyers, accountants, and consultants. This coverage helps with legal defense costs and settlements if a client sues for financial losses due to your professional advice or services. In Florida's litigious environment, it's especially important for protecting your business and personal assets.

Who needs Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida?
+
-

In Florida, various professionals need this insurance, including lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, insurance brokers, and IT consultants. Florida's diverse economy, with its focus on tourism, healthcare, and technology, means many service-based businesses are at risk. Some professions, like real estate agents, are required by Florida law to carry E&O insurance. Others may need it to secure contracts or protect against the high costs of litigation in Florida's court system.

How much does Professional Indemnity Insurance cost in Florida?
+
-

The cost of Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida varies widely based on factors like profession, revenue, and coverage limits. On average, small businesses might pay $500 to $1,000 annually, while high-risk professions could pay $5,000 or more. Florida's unique risks, such as hurricane-related business interruptions, can impact rates. For instance, coastal businesses in Miami or Tampa might see higher premiums than those in inland areas like Orlando.

What are the typical coverage limits for Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida?
+
-

In Florida, common coverage limits range from $500,000 to $2 million per claim, with aggregate limits of $1 million to $4 million. However, high-risk professions or large firms often require higher limits. Florida's cap on non-economic damages in certain professional liability cases ($500,000 as of 2023) can influence coverage decisions. It's crucial to consider Florida's specific legal environment and your industry's risks when determining appropriate limits.

Can Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida cover past work?
+
-

Yes, Professional Indemnity Insurance in Florida can cover past work through retroactive coverage. This is crucial in Florida where the statute of limitations for professional negligence is typically two years, but can extend in certain cases. When purchasing a policy, you can often negotiate a retroactive date that predates your policy start date. This is particularly important for long-term Florida projects, such as multi-year construction or consulting contracts, where issues might not surface immediately.

How does Florida law impact Professional Indemnity Insurance claims?
+
-

Florida law significantly impacts Professional Indemnity Insurance claims. The state's comparative negligence system means that liability can be shared between parties based on their degree of fault. Florida's statute of limitations for professional negligence is generally two years, but the 'discovery rule' can extend this in cases where the negligence wasn't immediately apparent. Additionally, Florida's 'bad faith' insurance laws can penalize insurers who unreasonably deny or delay claims, providing additional protection for policyholders.
