What Is
Errors & Omissions (E&O)?

Errors and Omissions—also known as professional liability insurance, professional indemnity or malpractice insurance—keeps you and your company protected from civil lawsuits for negligence, common mistakes, omissions, misrepresentation claims, and other similar claims.

Who is it for?

 

Any company that performs professional services for another party runs the risk that said party will claim their business suffered financially due to a service failure. This opens the door to your business taking the blame for any number of other truly germane causes for the financial losses in question.

Why do you need Errors and Omissions Insurance?

Outside parties can file claims of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of your business, and while general liability insurance covers property damage and bodily injury, only E&O insurance covers financial losses. If your product or service performs in a substandard manner, or client services are rendered with an act, error, or omission that results in a claim, E&O once again steps in to provide coverage.

 

For example, say a customer is unable to log into your client-onboarding SaaS platform for a few days due to a bug. As a result, your customer loses new business opportunities and incurs financial losses for which you are cited as the cause in a claim. General liability insurance doesn’t cover you because no actual damage occurred to any person or property, but E&O insurance protects you from losses incurred due to your customer’s claim.

 

  • Protects against third-party claims (i.e., slander, copyright infringement)
  • Protect against financial damage due to human error or oversights
  • Covers costs of client lawsuits alleging inferior work
