Claims-made: A type of professional liability insurance policy that covers injuries/damages only if the injury occurs in the policy period and only if the claim is reported or filed to the insurance company during the policy period or during the tail.

Occurrence basis: Professional liability insurance policy that covers injuries/damages that occur during the period covered by the policy even though the claim may be reported or filed outside the policy period.

Tail coverage: An uninterrupted extension of the insurance policy period, also known as the extended reporting endorsement.

Umbrella coverage: Coverage purchased in addition to a basic liability policy that provides additional amount limits and/or adds coverage for events not covered in the basic policy.
