Errors And Omissions Liability Insurance

Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance, often called Professional Liability or E&O, is the primary defense for any business that provides advice, consulting, or specialized services. While General Liability covers physical accidents, E&O covers your expertise. It pays for legal defense and settlements if a client claims your service was negligent, inaccurate, late, or caused them a financial loss.

The “Risk Reality”: The High Cost of Advice

In a service economy, client dissatisfaction often leads to litigation. You don’t have to be wrong to be sued; you just have to have a client believe you were wrong. The Small Business Administration (SBA) notes that the cost of litigation can destroy a small business, with average liability suits costing tens of thousands in defense fees alone. If you advise a client on a strategy that fails, they may look to you to recoup their losses.

Errors and Omissions Insurance Coverage

We tailor policies to match the specific risks of your profession, ensuring you aren’t paying for coverage you don’t need.

What is Covered
Negligence: Allegations that you failed to meet the standard of care expected in your industry.
Defense Costs: Pays for attorneys, court fees, and expert witnesses (even if the suit is baseless).
Misrepresentation: Claims that you implied a result that wasn’t delivered or provided inaccurate data.
Good Faith Violations: Claims that you breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
What is NOT Covered (Exclusions)
Illegal Acts: Fraud, criminal behavior, or intentional misconduct is never covered.
Bodily Injury: This falls under General Liability (unless you are a medical professional with Malpractice coverage).

The “Dream” Difference: Standard vs. Comprehensive

Most direct quotes only cover the basics in the left column. We shop multiple carriers to secure the critical add-ons in the right column that actually protect your livelihood.

Risk Area General Liability Errors and Omissions (E&O)
Bad advice causes financial loss Excluded Covered
Missed deadline lawsuit Excluded Covered
Breach of contract claims Excluded Covered
Copyright Infringement Excluded Covered (Media Policies)

 

 

Errors and Omissions Insurance Cost

“How much does E&O insurance cost?” It varies significantly by industry risk. A wedding planner pays less than a financial consultant.

  • Low Risk: Industry data shows that many low-risk consultants (like photographers or interior designers) pay approximately $500 to $1,000 annually.
  • High Risk: Architects, Engineers, or Financial Consultants often face higher premiums due to the potential scale of damages.
  • Limit Options: Common limits are $1 Million per claim. Increasing this to $2 Million usually costs only a small percentage more, offering better protection value.

The “Independent Difference”: Why Dream Assurance?

A “one-size-fits-all” policy leaves gaps. We ensure your policy matches your profession. “Independent Means Multiple Choices.”

  • Carrier Variety: We compare quotes from top carriers and specialty markets to find the right appetite for your specific niche.
  • Contract Review: We help you understand the insurance requirements in your client contracts so you can sign with confidence.
  • Claims Support: If a client dispute arises, our team acts as your advocate, helping you report the claim correctly to avoid denial.

Mr. Andre was a massive help beginning to end! He helped us get a great deal on our insurance, and explained everything thoroughly. It isn’t every day you get an insurance agent that you feel actually know what’s they’re talking about AND has your best interest in mind, but he definitely cares about his clients! Thanks Andre, and thanks Dream Assurance!
