Professional Liability - Errors and Omissions Insurance

Yes, you can be sued, even if you didn’t do anything wrong. 

The simplest clerical error or proofreading mistake (even one made by a trainee) can cost you, especially if it results in financial loss or damage to the reputation of one of your customers.

That’s why it’s important to understand the extent of your business liability insurance since it only protects your operation against bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury.

But what happens when you, one of your employees, or a vendor fails to catch something that your customer doesn’t miss, and they hold you responsible?

They can not only refuse to pay, they may also sue you for damages.

But with an errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy (also known as Professional Liability policy), you’ll enjoy specialized liability protection against losses not covered by traditional business insurance.

E&O Insurance (Errors & Omissions) is frequently called Professional Liability. In the case of doctors, dentists, optometrists you'll hear the term Malpractice Insurance. If you provide a service for a fee, you may need Errors & Omissions insurance. People make mistakes - your employees, or even yourself. If you're sued, are you able to handle the legal fees and the potential judgment? If not, look into E&O insurance.
