What is Lawyers Errors & Omissions Insurance?

 

Lawyers, paralegals, litigators and those seeking counsel must all work together to do business. Such engagement comes with risks. Mistakes could expose all parties to financial harm.

When clients hold a practice responsible for their losses, liability insurance can prove critical in coordinating a response. Interested groups can turn to U.S. E&O Brokers to obtain targeted professional liability coverage.

What’s Professional Liability Insurance?

Professional liability coverage, also called malpractice insurance, protects legal firms who cause financial or personal losses to clients. It can apply when a third party accuses the firm of:

• Professional or clerical errors
• Subpar services
• Breach of privacy
• Bad hiring, termination or retention practices
• Other allegations in the realm of professionalism

Coverage extends to multiple parties within legal agreements. It can offer settlements for the affected groups, as well as legal assistance and other backing for the policyholder. All parties have a lower chance of suffering financially due to mistakes on the part of the firm.
