What is Errors and Omissions insurance?

Errors and Omissions insurance is commonly known as professional liability insurance. This is a special type of insurance policy that protects you and your company against third party lawsuits as a result of a professional error or negligence.

How much does Errors and Omissions insurance cost

The following factors might have an impact on your Errors and Omissions insurance premium:

  • The type of your occupation – some professions are inherently riskier than others from an insurance standpoint. The riskier the occupation, the higher the cost.
  • Your business turnover and size – bigger sales mean that the company either undertakes larger projects or has more projects by volume. Both of these situations contribute to either a larger lawsuit or a higher risk of being sued.
  • The amount of insurance coverage you require
  • The individuals being covered – are they qualified for the job they are performing, and do they have a previous history of claims
