Disciplinary Proceeding Coverage
Coverage some professional liability policies include for defending a complaint to a state licensing board, often with a separate, smaller limit.
What it means for your firm
Licensing board complaints are not lawsuits, but they can be expensive to defend. Some design professional policies include defense coverage for them; fines and penalties are usually not covered.
Check your declarations and endorsements for a disciplinary or regulatory proceeding sublimit.
