• While errors and omissions insurance has been a hot item for doctors, lawyers, financial services professionals and realtors, all businesses face professional liability risk. To determine whether you need E&O, ask yourself : "Can I afford to wage or lose a civil lawsuit arising out of professional error on my part?" For the majority of small businesses, the answer is no. That's because the American legal system tends to severely punish professional error with award judgments in seven figures and up. Even if you win a lawsuit, there's the question of paying the lawyers.

  If you subject E&O to a quick risk-benefit analysis, you'll see that the annual premium, which is generally affordable, yet varied depending on how many individual employees you insure, and the nature of your business, is well worth the protection.
