Who needs Professional Liability?

Also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O), this is essential for anyone who gives advice, offers a professional service, or handles client data. General Liability covers physical accidents; this covers your work.

  • IT Professionals: If code fails or data is lost.
  • Consultants: If a client claims your advice caused financial loss.
  • Real Estate/Insurance: If paperwork errors cost a client money.

What keeps you up at night?

Professional Liability protects you when clients say "You messed up."

What claims does E&O cover?

Professional Liability insurance fills the gaps that General Liability leaves open. It is specifically designed for "economic damages" rather than physical injuries.

Missed Deadlines: If a delay costs your client revenue.
Inaccurate Advice: Recommendations that lead to a bad outcome.
Copyright Infringement: Accidental misuse of intellectual property.
Breach of Contract: Claims that you didn't deliver the agreed scope.

Bundle & Save

Most professionals add these coverages to their E&O policy:

General vs. Professional Liability

Many business owners confuse the two. Here is the simple difference:

General Liability

Covers Physical damage. Examples: A client slips in your office, or you spill coffee on their server.

Professional Liability

Covers Financial damage. Examples: You wrote code that had a bug, or you gave tax advice that caused an audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Professional Liability the same as Malpractice?
Yes, essentially. "Malpractice" is the term usually used for doctors and lawyers, while "Professional Liability" or "Errors & Omissions (E&O)" is used for consultants, real estate agents, engineers, and tech professionals.
Does this cover me for past work?
It depends on your "Retroactive Date." If you maintain continuous coverage, E&O policies are "Claims-Made," meaning they can cover work you did in the past as long as the claim is filed while the policy is active.
Can I pay monthly?
Absolutely. Most of our carriers offer monthly billing options with a small down payment so you can manage your business cash flow effectively.
How fast can I get a Certificate (COI)?
Instantly. Once you complete the purchase, our system automatically emails you the Certificate of Insurance so you can forward it to your client immediately.
