Professional liability insurance provides coverage for professionals and businesses to protect them against claims of negligence by clients or customers. Policies generally cover negligence, copyright infringement, personal injury claims and more.
A policy simply sets forth terms and conditions without attaching them to specific persons, items, or interests; by contrast, contracts establish contractual obligations between two or more parties governed by contract law.
Any business offering their expertise should seriously consider getting professional liability coverage, commonly known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, to safeguard both their company and bottom line from customer claims of late completion, incompleteness or substandard work that could potentially lead to costly lawsuits.
