Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Placed nationwide by Machaen Insurance Agency with A-rated carriers.

Overview

Errors and omissions insurance, also called professional liability insurance, protects a business against claims that its professional services or advice caused a client financial harm through an actual or alleged error, omission, or negligent act. It's designed to cover the cost of defending a claim as well as any settlement or judgment, which can otherwise be significant even when a claim is ultimately unfounded.

Who Needs This Coverage

  • Consultants, agencies, and professional service firms that advise or perform work for clients
  • Businesses bound by client contracts that require proof of professional liability coverage
  • Any company where a mistake in delivered work could cause a client financial loss

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing reflects your profession, the size and nature of the contracts you take on, your claims history, and the limits your clients require. Firms working on larger or higher-stakes engagements typically carry higher limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is E&O insurance the same as general liability insurance?+

No. General liability covers bodily injury and property damage, while E&O covers financial losses a client claims resulted from your professional services or advice.

Do I need E&O insurance if I've never been sued?+

Most firms carry E&O because a single claim, even a meritless one, can be expensive to defend, and many clients now require proof of coverage before signing a contract.

What does 'claims-made' mean for E&O policies?+

Most E&O policies are written on a claims-made basis, meaning the policy in force when a claim is filed responds, which is why continuous coverage without gaps matters.
