Professional Liability Insurance
A profession is considered to be a work activity requiring dedicated studies of a specific duration and work experience. Certain activities, such as therapeutic treatment, design, lawyer practice, notary services, accountancy, are riskier than others. Improper provision of these services may cause serious harm to end-users or third parties.
Persons engaged in the following professional activities must be covered by professional liability insurance: lawyers, bailiffs, auditors, insurance intermediaries, tour operators, notaries, building designers, and planners, building supervisors, health care institutions, property and business appraisers, etc. The list of all types of compulsory civil liability insurance is published by “Lietuvos bankas”.
The scope of insurance laid down in compulsory insurance is not always sufficient enough and therefore additional, voluntary professional liability insurance may be required to extend the scope of insurance.
