Special Features for Professional Liability

We negotiated hard-to-find features in our professional liability coverage, such as elimination of the so-called “hammer clause,” which means no settlement without the veterinarian's written consent. This gives the insured the right to defend their reputation by refusing recommended claim settlements by the insurance company. We also provide access to legal defense coverage if the insured is required to defend license challenges from the veterinary licensing board.

  • EXTRA Endorsements: The wide array of additional and expanded coverage designed for veterinary practices makes it more broad and economical than purchasing coverage separately through normal insurance policies.
  • Professional Liability: Our Business Owners' Policy (BOP) makes available separate limits up to $2 million per occurrence, with a maximum aggregate of $4 million per year. Our expanded definition of “who is covered” addresses the exposures of modern practices and organizations. In addition, we can offer Professional Liability on a stand-alone basis outside of the BOP.
  • License Defense: We provide up to $100,000 per year for legal expenses incurred defending complaints brought by the state licensing board.
  • Animal Bailee: Automatic coverage for an animal dying, being injured or lost while in your custody. No limit on the number of animals in each claim.
  • Emergency Relocation: Extended coverage for the expense of relocating boarded animals to safety.
