Professional liability

What is professional liability insurance?

Professional liability, also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance, covers your business from customer legal disputes arising from professional negligence, mistakes, or missed client deadlines. Costs associated with defending your business, regardless of whether the claims are valid, can be covered under this policy. Certain industries or clients require proof of professional liability insurance to conduct business.

Mistakes
