📝 Errors & Omissions (Professional Liability) for Consultants & Service Firms in Canada 🇨🇦
As a consultant or service professional, your advice, expertise, and solutions are the foundation of your business. But what happens if a client claims that your work caused them a financial loss? That’s where Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance—also known as Professional Liability Insurance—becomes essential.
⚡ What It Covers
- Negligence Claims ⚖️: Protection if a client alleges you made a mistake or oversight.
- Failure to Deliver 📉: Coverage when services or results fall short of agreed standards.
- Legal Defence Costs 💼: Even if the allegations are unfounded, E&O covers your legal fees.
- Financial Damages 💰: Compensation for clients if you’re found liable.
❌ What It Doesn’t Cover
- Intentional wrongdoing 🚫
- Bodily injury or property damage (covered under Commercial General Liability policies)
- Employment disputes or internal business issues
📌 Why It Matters in Canada
In an increasingly litigious environment, Canadian consultants, IT providers, engineers, accountants, marketing agencies, and other service firms face rising expectations and scrutiny. A single client dispute could escalate into a costly lawsuit, putting both your finances and reputation at risk.
✅ The Takeaway
E&O Insurance provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on delivering value to your clients without constantly worrying about the “what ifs.” For consultants and service firms in BC and across Canada, it’s not just coverage—it’s a vital part of business risk management.
