An Abundance of Opportunities

If your client provides select professional services in a vast industry of classes, Vela offers coverage options to meet their needs.

Miscellaneous & Technology Professional Liability

Professional Liability insurance, often referred to as Errors & Omissions coverage, protects your insured against claims of negligence from their customers. Vela’s Professional Liability focuses on Miscellaneous or Technology risk exposures for a plethora of classes, offering primary and excess limits to suit the customer’s needs. General Liability is an additional coverage that can be added on a primary basis to enhance the insured’s policy. Our knowledgeable staff is responsive to the demanding needs for creative solutions in the Professional Liability industry. Our partners look to Vela for creative underwriting that requires out-of-the-box thinking.

Cyber Suite

Vela’s Cyber Suite coverage is designed to attach, as a separate coverage, to our primary miscellaneous and technology professional liability policies. The coverage offers standalone and unencumbered limits of up to $1,000,000 that can be added with little to no extra effort.

 

Cyber Suite coverage is a comprehensive cyber insurance solution designed to help businesses respond to a range of cyber incidents. These include: breaches of personally identifying or personally sensitive information, threats of unauthorized intrusion into or interference with computers systems, damage to data and systems from computer attacks and cyber-related litigation. Our partners look to Vela for creative underwriting that requires out-of-the-box thinking for or all of your coverage needs, ranging from small transactional business to larger “tough” to place business risks.
