COVERED BUSINESSES
E&O insurance is to protect you, your business and your employees for when you provide a service and that the client can state you did an inaquate job, made a mistake or client could claim is inadequate or tied to negligence. For example, if you are a real estate agent, you may find yourself facing a lawsuit if a homeowner finds defects in their new property after closing. This homeowner may allege you did not disclose the defects and try to collect based on the diminished value of the home.
Another example, you are a branding consultant to help revive a struggling company. If the innovative techniques that you employ are not enough to keep the business open, the company’s owner may try to blame you and file a lawsuit.
You are a Home Inspector and it is claimed you missed a crack in the basement that has now leaked the the owners now need to have the foundation repaired.
