Professional Liability Insurance

Protection related to certain claims involving professional services, mistakes, or omissions.

Professional liability, also called errors & omissions (E&O), protects businesses paid for their expertise. It can respond when a client alleges a mistake, missed deadline or oversight in your work caused them financial harm.

What it can help cover

  • Claims that your advice or service caused a client financial loss
  • Allegations of errors, omissions or negligence
  • Legal defense costs, even if the claim has no merit

What it typically doesn’t cover

  • Bodily injury or property damage (see General Liability)
  • Intentional wrongdoing
  • Claims made before the policy’s retroactive date

Every policy is different. Your actual coverage depends on the policy terms, limits and exclusions.

FAQ

About professional liability

What does “claims-made” mean?

Most professional liability policies cover claims reported while the policy is active, for work performed after a set retroactive date.

Is E&O the same as professional liability?

Yes. The names are used interchangeably. In entertainment, “E&O” also refers to media E&O required by distributors.
