Professional Liability Insurance

What is professional liability insurance?
Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions insurance (E & O insurance), protects your business if you are sued for negligence, even if you haven’t made a mistake.
You should seriously consider professional liability insurance if your business:
- provides a professional service.
- regularly gives advice to clients.
- is requested by a client to have professional liability insurance to complete a contract.
You can feel secure with Hiscox insurance. We specialize in professional liability insurance coverage for professional services businesses with 10 employees or less.
