Errors & omissions insurance

Professional liability insurance is defined as a form of insurance that can help pay for legal expenses when clients claim something you did – or didn’t do – hurt them financially.

Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is a form of insurance that covers business mistakes or undelivered services that caused financial harm to a customer.

Standard of care refers to a professional's duty to act reasonably and provide quality services. If you fall short of the standard of care, a client usually has the right to sue.

A retroactive date defines how far back in time a loss can occur for your policy to cover your claim. If a claim happens prior to your retroactive date, your policy won’t provide benefits. It’s a feature of claims-made professional liability or errors and omissions insurance.

Errors and omissions insurance protects your small business from the financial risks of professional mistakes. Your industry, as well as the scope of your professional practice, will affect the cost of coverage.
