Why do I need errors & omissions liability insurance?
While Errors and Omissions can protect you from the risks of providing poor advice, it will not provide coverage for any personal injury or third-party damages caused by your actions. That is why any business will need to have Commercial General Liability (CGL) coverage, in addition to Errors and Omissions insurance.
For example, if you regularly visit a client’s office for a meeting, there is small exposure to the risk of third-party injury that needs to be considered and will require CGL coverage.
At the end of the day, CGL and Errors and Omissions insurance are designed to work hand-in-hand and not independently. Typically, you will not be able to acquire Errors and Omissions coverage without already holding a Commercial General Liability policy.
How much errors & omissions liability coverage do I need?
The amount of coverage that you need will depend on the type of work that you are performing, but the limits can range from $250,000 to $5 million.
Before issuing a policy, our team will assess the potential financial consequences of an error or omission on your part. They will consider the size of the company that you’re working with and the type of contract that you have with them. This assessment will help us to determine what limit is the right fit for your business.
When acquiring a policy, you also have the option to include defense costs in your coverage or leave defense costs as an addition.
