Errors and Omissions Insurance

for All Design Professionals

Does your company offer advice or advertise yourself as an expert to clients? If the answer is yes, you will likely be considered a professional in the eyes of the legal system and could potentially be sued for errors and omissions. Even if your profession doesn’t have published practices and procedures, your business is subject to potential liability and clients can file a claim against you.

Potential liabilities
Companies that perform professional services can make mistakes, overlook critical information, forget to do something, or can simply be misunderstood by a client. These mistakes can lead to allegations such as:

Mismanagement
Malpractice
Improper documentation
Failure to provide a service
Nondisclosure

Professional liability errors and omissions (E & O) insurance protects companies and individuals against claims made by clients for inadequate work or negligent actions. Errors and Omissions insurance covers a number of potential costs related to a claim including:

Legal Fees – Even if the claim against you has no merit, you are still required to defend yourself either through negotiations or a trial. It will be necessary to retain an attorney to prepare documents, construct a defense and argue your case.

Court Costs – Court fees can add up quickly and can include docket fees, witness and transcript fees.

Settlement or Judgments – The amount awarded as damages relating to a lawsuit

Professional Design Insurance (PDI) offers Miscellaneous Errors & Omissions insurance for a number of professional categories with a broad range of coverage features tailored to the distinct needs of individual professions. This program covers firms with fees up to $1,000,000.
