What is miscellaneous errors and omissions Insurance?
Miscellaneous errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, also referred to as professional liability, offers more flexible coverage designed for a wide variety of small businesses and sole practitioners. Consultants, self-employed individuals, and businesses providing a service that relies on their unique skills and expertise should consider a miscellaneous E&O policy. This kind of coverage helps protect them from lawsuits, hire competent defense lawyers, and if necessary, help pay a settlement.
