Guard Your Business Reputation With Professional Liability Protection
Serving professionals and firms across San Diego County, we help you manage risk and protect against costly claims of errors, omissions, or alleged negligence.
What Professional Liability Insurance Covers
Professional liability insurance (also known as Errors & Omissions or E&O) protects professionals when clients claim your services caused financial harm due to mistakes, missed deadlines, or advice that didn’t meet expectations.
Coverage Features
Negligence & Errors Coverage
Protects against claims alleging professional mistakes, oversights, or failure to deliver promised results.
Legal Defense Costs
Covers legal fees and court costs, whether or not you’re found liable.
Alleged Misrepresentation
Responds to accusations that your advice or deliverables caused client loss.
Personal Injury (Libel/Slander)
Extends to claims of defamation or reputational harm related to professional services.
Coverage for Past Services (Retroactive Dates)
Often includes protection for work performed before the current policy.
Professional Liability Coverage Considerations for Businesses
Not all E&O policies are alike—coverage needs to match your profession, client contracts, and regulatory risks.
Type of Services Provided:
Some professions have unique risks (consultants, tech, legal, health, real estate, etc.) requiring custom policy language.
Contract Requirements:
Client contracts may specify E&O limits, scope, or special endorsements.
Claims-Made Policy Structure:
Understand retroactive dates, extended reporting, and tail coverage.
Coordination With General Liability:
E&O does not replace general liability—both may be needed for full protection.
We help you evaluate coverage details upfront—so you don’t discover gaps after a claim arises.
