Errors and Omissions Liability policy can help you, and your company pays for legal judgments or settlements. It also covers defense costs, which can be substantial even if youโ€™re not found liable.

What is Error & Omissions Insurance?

Business liability insurance covers losses related to bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury. But what happens when a printer neglects to catch a typographic error on a large order of engraved wedding invitations? Or when a plumbing repair fails and causes an entire office to be flooded? Thatโ€™s where Errors and Omissions insurance can help.

E&O insurance is a kind of specialized liability protection against losses not covered by traditional liability insurance. It protects you and your business from claims if a client sues for negligent acts, errors, or omissions committed during business activities that result in a financial loss.

What is covered by Error & Omissions Insurance?

Errors and omissions insurance helps protect your business from claims of:

  • Negligence
  • Errors in services given
  • Omissions
  • Misrepresentation
  • Violation of good faith and fair dealing
  • Inaccurate advice

If someone sues your business for making a mistake in the professional services youโ€™ve provided, this insurance can help cover your:

  • Attorney fees,ย can cost an average of $3,000 to $150,000.
  • Court costs,ย like reserving a courtroom or paying for expert witnesses.
  • Administrative costsย to put your defense together, such as paying office managers or court reporters.
  • Settlements and judgments, which can cost a couple thousand to millions of dollars.

Errors and omissions insurance only help cover claims if:

  • Itโ€™s filed within your policy period or the extended reporting period
  • The incident occurred on or after your retroactive date

The retroactive date means incidents that happen on or after a specific date in your policy are eligible for coverage. The extended reporting period helps cover claims filed within a certain period after your policy expires.

And if youโ€™re found at fault or agree to settle the claim out of court, you can expect to pay a hefty amount out of pocket.
