errors and omissions liability

1.  Legal Defense Costs: When a client or third party alleges that your professional services have caused them financial harm, they may file a lawsuit seeking compensation. E&O insurance covers the legal costs involved in defending yourself against such claims. This coverage includes attorney fees, court expenses, expert witness fees, and other litigation-related costs.

2.  Settlements and Judgments: If you are found legally liable for financial damages resulting from a claim, E&O insurance provides coverage for settlements or judgments awarded to the claimant. This coverage can help protect your business assets and financial stability, ensuring that a single lawsuit doesn't have catastrophic consequences.

3.  Breach of Duty: E&O insurance typically covers claims arising from allegations of professional negligence, errors, or omissions in the services or advice you provide. This can include claims related to misrepresentation, negligence, violation of professional duty, failure to deliver promised results, or even simple human errors. 

4.  Prior Acts Coverage: E&O insurance can offer "prior acts coverage" or "retroactive date coverage," which means it can protect you against claims arising from professional services rendered before the policy's inception date. 

5.  Reputational Protection: A claim or lawsuit, even if baseless, can damage your professional reputation. E&O insurance not only provides financial protection but also helps manage and respond to claims promptly and effectively. 

6.  Industry Compliance: In some industries, having E&O insurance may be a requirement to meet regulatory compliance standards or to qualify for certain contracts or client engagements. By obtaining E&O insurance, you can ensure that your business meets the necessary industry standards and requirements.
