That’s where Proliability comes in. We offer coverage that gives you peace of mind to do your job.

Coverage Details
Extensive Coverage
Insurance limits up to $4 million each year to defend you ($2 million for each incident).
Coverage built for the risks educators actually face
Claims against faculty rarely stem from a single dramatic event; they grow out of grading and tenure decisions, research and authorship disputes, and complaints from students or colleagues. Our professional liability coverage is designed around these everyday academic exposures, so your protection matches the way the work really happens. It’s coverage shaped for the classroom, the lab, and everything in between.
Coverage that follows you, not just your institution
If you’re relying on your college or university’s policy, you may be protected only for narrowly defined duties and only while you’re performing them. Our coverage is issued in your own name, so it stays with you across teaching, research, advising, and outside consulting. That means fewer gaps and no assuming someone else’s policy has you covered.
