What Is Professional Liability Insurance?
Professional Liability Insurance—also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance—helps protect businesses and professionals from claims that their services, advice, or professional work caused financial harm to a client.
Unlike General Liability Insurance, which typically covers bodily injury and property damage, Professional Liability Insurance is designed to address claims related to professional services.
Coverage may help with:
- Alleged negligence
- Errors or omissions
- Missed deadlines
- Inaccurate advice
- Misrepresentation
- Failure to deliver contracted services
- Legal defense costs
- Court judgments and settlements (subject to policy terms)
Even if a claim is unfounded, the cost of defending your business can be significant.
Who Needs Professional Liability Insurance?
Many professionals can benefit from Professional Liability Insurance, including:
- Consultants
- Accountants
- Architects
- Engineers
- Insurance agents
- Real estate professionals
- Healthcare providers
- Technology professionals
- Marketing agencies
- Graphic designers
- Financial advisors
- Business coaches
- Contractors offering professional advice
- IT service providers
- Property managers
If your business provides expertise, recommendations, or professional services, this coverage is worth considering.
What Does Professional Liability Insurance Cover?
Coverage varies by carrier and policy, but Professional Liability Insurance may help protect against claims involving:
Professional Errors
Mistakes made while providing professional services.
Negligence Claims
Allegations that your services failed to meet accepted professional standards.
Omissions
Claims that an important service, recommendation, or responsibility was overlooked.
Misrepresentation
Protection against certain claims involving inaccurate information or misunderstandings during the course of providing professional services.
Legal Defense Costs
Attorney fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and other legal expenses can add up quickly—even if you’re ultimately found not liable.
Settlements and Judgments
If a covered claim results in a settlement or judgment, your policy may help pay eligible costs up to the limits of your coverage.
Professional Liability vs. General Liability
Many business owners mistakenly believe General Liability Insurance protects them from professional service claims.
Here’s the difference:
| General Liability | Professional Liability |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury | Professional mistakes |
| Property damage | Errors & omissions |
| Slip-and-fall claims | Negligence claims |
| Advertising injury | Financial loss caused by professional services |
Many businesses benefit from carrying both types of coverage for broader protection.
