Professional Indemnity / Errors & Omissions Insurance

Professional Indemnity Insurance, also known as Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O), protect professionals and businesses against claims for negligence, errors, omissions, or professional misconduct in the performance of their professional services. It provides coverage against legal liabilities and associated costs incurred in defending against or settling claims made by clients or third parties.

Coverage

Libel and Slander

Some professional indemnity policies may include coverage for claims of defamation, libel, or slander arising from the insured's professional activities.

Legal Defense Costs

Covers legal fees, court costs, and expenses associated with defending against professional liability claims, including investigations, settlements, and judgments.

Negligence or Error Coverage

Provides financial protection against claims arising from errors, mistakes, or negligence in the provision of professional services, including failure to deliver services as promised or failure to meet professional standards.

Add-On

Run-off Coverage - Extends coverage to provide protection even after the insured has ceased practicing or retired from their profession, covering claims made after the policy has expired.

Extended Reporting Period (ERP) - Provides an extended period of time after the policy has expired during which claims can be reported and covered, typically useful for claims arising after the termination of the policy.
