The purpose of the bid bond is to protect the client from financial loss in the event that the original contractor refuses to sign a contract.

True or false? Professional liability policies written on a project basis are intended to help remove exposure from an underlying practice policy.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation

By having a separate policy for each project, the exposure is removed from the overall practice policy, ensuring that claims related to one project do not affect the coverage and premiums of other projects. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.Rate this question:
