Whatever business you may have, clients can always argue that you did something incorrectly which caused them to lose money.

No matter how hard you try, you can make mistakes on occasion because, as the boss, you are unable to carefully watch every undertaking that you don’t handle by yourself. E&O insurance covers your mistakes and of your personnel and outside contractors you use.

Even though a formal contract can limit accountability with your customers, the biggest expense associated with this type of claim is the cost of legal defense required to establish the business owner’s innocence or accountability.
