The liability insurance industry has expanded dramatically as liability exposures have continued to increase in the United States. In the past 50 years or so, litigation arising from professional errors and omissions has increased dramatically, partly because the range of jobs that are considered professional has expanded greatly. Therefore, this expansion has increased the need for professionals to protect themselves against financial losses that can result from their errors and omissions or breaches of their professional responsibilities. Commercial General Liability (CGL) is designed to meet the needs for liability insurance generated by the exposures related to operating a business. In contrast, Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) is designed to protect insureds from exposures related to the rendering of professional services. Different types of professionals each have specialized needs. Many lines of PLI have been developed to meet the needs of specific professionals. In this module you will gain improved knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principals of PLI, PLI policy components, the claims-made policy functions, and the factors that influence underwriting PLI policies. You'll need to view each lesson in its entirety and pass the final module exam in order for the module to count towards the requirement for a PLUS Designation and/or Certificate.

One way insurance companies manage loss exposures is to transfer some or all of these exposures to other insurance companies. Reinsurance is a mechanism that enables insurers to shift loss exposures that they may not otherwise be able to bear. The simplest way to describe reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies. Reinsurance helps insurers fulfill their financial obligations to insureds. Reinsurance is a business relationship between insurers and reinsurers.
