Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance helps protect against the costs of allegations made by clients for inadequate work, negligent actions or failure to provide the expected level of service. As a professional operating in today’s increasingly litigious environment, you could easily be subject to allegations by unhappy clients who may feel they’ve been harmed by your actions or inactions. E&O insurance from Travelers can be customized to protect you and your company from the unique risks you face while working in your profession.
Who needs errors and omissions insurance?
For some professionals, contracts require E&O coverage in the event that a mistake, real or perceived, is made that costs your client money or damages their reputation. Even if you aren’t contractually required to carry E&O insurance, it’s a wise decision to help protect your business.
Without E&O insurance coverage, your business may be responsible for the costs of legal defense should you be sued. Those costs can include defense costs and settlement costs, as well as the time required to respond to a claim and the potential damage to your company’s brand and reputation.
Travelers knows errors and omissions insurance
Travelers understands that regardless of how well you plan, the potential for mistakes in the performance of a professional service is still very real. Your business's financial security can depend on how well protected you are from a lawsuit or claim. For that reason, Travelers E&O insurance offers protection for an array of emerging exposures and for losses resulting from negligence or errors and omissions in the performance of professional services.
