What is Professional Liability Insurance?

Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions (E&O) insurance or indemnity insurance, protects your business if you are sued for things like negligence or faulty workmanship. It can cover the cost of your defense, even if the lawsuit is found to be without merit, and a settlement or judgement if required.

Why do I need professional liability insurance?

If you provide a service or offer advice, you could be sued. Professional liability insurance is important if your business:

Provides a service

You can get sued for just about anything, especially if a client thinks you didn’t provide your services as promised. Professional liability insurance could cover the cost of such a lawsuit.

Gives advice to clients

Consultants and other businesses which provide advice to clients may be at risk of being sued if their advice doesn’t produce the desired result.

Is requested to have professional liability insurance to complete a contract

Having the proper insurance coverage shows potential clients that you are professional, reliable, and ready to work. Clients may require it before they’ll sign a contract.

Uses temporary staff or independent contractors to provide client services

Professional liability insurance can cover not only your own actions, but those of your employees, temporary staff, and independent contractors.
