Errors And Omissions Liability Insurance Is A Specialized Product

Errors and omissions liability insurance is a specialized product offering protection to businesses, their employees and their independent contractors for things they accidentally do or fail to do. This insurance covers mistakes and may be called professional liability or malpractice insurance in some professions. It offers protection against the horrendous cost of legal fees, settlements and court awarded judgments; it allows business and the people to continue to expand and thrive while dealing with lawsuits or unjustified claims.

No matter how careful people and businesses are or what safeguards are in place, mistakes happen. Data is deleted from a computer or placed in the wrong file, numbers are transposed in addresses and dates are written down wrong. Most of the time, these can be corrected with little or no damage. A travel agent booking the wrong ocean cruise or excursion can usually change it without major problems, unless it is a special 50th anniversary gift for a terminally ill person and the trip cannot take place. A real estate agent who neglects to tell a seller the buyer is in bankruptcy and needs extended time to purchase the home may be responsible for damages. A Notary Public failing to return all the documents causes the mortgage docs to be redrawn at a substantially higher interest rate and with additional costs. All of these people in their profession created hardship and problems for others. Errors and omissions liability covers these actions, actions of negligence, mistakes and lack of due diligence.
