Safeguard Your Professional Expertise

Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance defends your business against claims alleging professional mistakes, negligence, or failure to perform your services.

What is Professional Liability Insurance?

Also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O), this is specific insurance created to shield professionals from accusations of error, malpractice, or incomplete work. When a customer alleges that your professional service resulted in a financial loss for them, this coverage can pay for your legal fees, settlements, and court awards. In essence, it protects your professional standing and financial stability from unforeseen claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

It helps pay for claims that your professional services had an error, omission, or were allegedly negligent—think bad advice, missed deadlines, or mistakes in deliverables. It typically covers legal defense, settlements, and judgments (up to your limits), even if a claim is groundless.

If you sell advice or specialized services, you do. Common examples:

  • Consultants, agencies, designers, and developers
  • Real estate, insurance, and financial professionals
  • Healthcare and allied health (often via specialized forms)
  • Architects, engineers, accountants, attorneys (usually bespoke policies)

No. General Liability covers bodily injury, property damage, and certain advertising injury. E&O covers financial loss from your professional services (bad advice, errors, omissions). Most contracts expect both.

E&O is usually claims-made: the policy in force when the claim is made responds (not when the work was done). You’ll see terms like retroactive dates and tail coverage because timing matters.

The retro date is the earliest date your prior work is covered. Keep it as far back as possible and don’t let it reset when you switch carriers—otherwise older work may be uninsured.
