When Things Go Pear-Shaped – and it’s your fault
If your work involves selling your knowledge, services and expertise to others, then Errors & Omissions insurance (E&O) is a must. It’s an essential piece of armour for anyone who could be sued for making a mistake.
What is E&O insurance?
In this everything-by-yesterday world, even the most respectable company can find itself in dispute with a client over an error, a delay or alleged breach of contract. E&O insurance provides indemnity for losses you are legally liable for if you make a mistake or are negligent, or if your product or service is defective, inadequate or fails to perform.
Why do I need it?
In the political climate of harmonization and consumer protection, it’s hard to keep up with changes in the law, and many companies find themselves embroiled in expensive disputes without realizing they’d done anything wrong. Failing to defend these allegations properly could cause irreparable damage to the reputation and financial stability of your business. Every day your business could be exposed to allegations of:
Negligence or breach of duty of care

“I just love it that you are all in the loop of what we are doing.”
“Thanks very much for your excellent service. You seem to be alone in the whole insurance world in understanding our business and its needs!”
“Your colleagues were amazing in helping me after hours. They were professional and very quick in dealing with me.”
These guys are the only insurance people I will tolerate speaking to these days, as they are actual humans (with both a brain and a heart!) and offer very good packages too - they answer calls and emails promptly and when I had an issue recently with my bank were very helpful to get it fixed.
