Professional Liability (E&O)

Professional Liability Insurance (E&O) Cover the Work You Stand Behind

The smart, bundled solution for small and mid-sized businesses that want reliable protection without the complexity.

Overview

What Is Professional Liability Insurance?

Professional Liability Insurance also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance protects your business if a client claims your work caused them financial harm.

Even the most skilled professionals can be sued for mistakes, advice that didn’t deliver results, or services that didn’t meet expectations. This coverage helps cover legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments.

Coverage applies even if you’re not at fault — defending your reputation and finances.

FAQs

How is E&O different from General Liability?
General Liability covers physical incidents (like slips/falls). E&O covers professional mistakes, advice, or omissions that result in financial harm.
Do I need this if I work under a contract?
Yes. Even with a contract, clients can still file claims. In fact, many contracts require E&O coverage.
Does this cover freelancers or solo consultants?
Absolutely. E&O is critical for solo professionals — you’re the brand, and the liability.
Can I customize my coverage limits?
Yes. We offer flexible limits based on your industry, client size, and revenue.
