the work you do.

What does the ATA-sponsored
professional liability insurance cover?
 Broad definition of translation/
interpreting services: Covers
activities relevant to a translator
or interpreter, including editing,
publishing, and proofreading.
 Coverage for contingent bodily
injury and/or property damages:
Covers errors in providing
translation/interpreting services
that result in bodily injury and/
or property damage. These types
of claims are typically excluded by
generic professional liability policies.
 Coverage for cyber liability,
including HIPPA and HITECH
breaches: Covers breaches related
to the provision of professional
services in violation or breach of
the HIPPA and HITECH Acts.
