Why do technical writers need insurance?

A technical writer produces a tremendous amount of content, from software documentation to instruction manuals. Mistakes are bound to happen, but they don’t have to interfere with your work. When an error in copy leads to a lawsuit, business insurance protects against legal fees. It also covers common injuries and accidents.
