Unfortunately accidents do happen, whether intentional or not and your business needs to prepared to be able to cover these losses if they happen.

If your company is in an advice giving profession, you need professional liability insurance. Professional liability insurance helps protect you when a third party sues you or makes a claim against you for giving incorrect advice that caused them damage. For example, medical malpractice insurance is a type of professional liability insurance. Other professions who often need this type of insurance include accountants, lawyers and counselors.
If you're concerned that you don't have enough insurance to fully protect your business, you can opt for an umbrella policy. An umbrella policy would pay the difference between what your primary policy pays and a judgment that is awarded against your business. For example, if you have 1 million dollars in general liability insurance and a judgment was entered against your business for an injury caused to a person for 2 million dollars, that extra 1 million would have to come out of your pocket. If you had an umbrella policy for an extra 2 million, you'd be covered.
