Professional liability insurance protects businesses when employees make mistakes in providing professional services to customers or clients, also known as errors and omissions insurance (E&O). Even though you're an expert at what you do, mistakes still happen!
Although all-risk policies offer comprehensive protection, they don't always include everything. Most policies don't pay out for damages caused by termites, wear and tear, sewer backups, floods or earthquakes as well as paying to remove mold or repair your foundation.
General, professional and employer liabilities are the three major forms of liability protection available today.
Policies typically feature deductibles ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. Your premium costs depend upon both the size and risk profile of your business, with smaller operations usually needing lower premiums due to lower risk exposure.
