Professional Liability Insurance That Protects Your Reputation and Your Business
Even the best professionals make mistakes. One unhappy client claiming you gave bad advice, missed a deadline, or made an error could cost you everything. Professional liability insurance (also called errors and omissions or E&O) protects your business when your services fall short. Stanley Insurance Group helps Ohio professionals find affordable coverage from leading carriers.
What Professional Liability Insurance Generally Covers
Professional liability insurance (E&O) protects you when clients claim your professional services caused them financial harm. Coverage includes legal defense costs even if the claim is groundless, settlements or judgments if you're found liable, claims of negligence or failure to meet professional standards, allegations of missed deadlines or incomplete work, and errors in advice or recommendations you provided. Unlike general liability which covers physical injuries and property damage, professional liability covers financial losses from your professional mistakes. Our experienced agents help you select coverage limits appropriate for your profession, client contracts, and potential exposure to large claims.
We Offer Additional Coverage Options
While professional liability covers service-related claims, your business faces other risks that require separate protection. That's why we offer additional plans, including general liability for bodily injury and property damage at your office, cyber liability for data breaches and privacy violations, business owners policies that bundle multiple coverages, and commercial umbrella insurance for catastrophic claims that exceed your base policy limits.

Get Answers About Professional Liability Insurance
Expert answers to help you understand your coverage options and protect your professional practice
If you provide advice, consulting, design work, or professional services where clients rely on your expertise, you need professional liability insurance. This includes consultants, accountants, real estate agents, architects, engineers, IT professionals, marketing agencies, insurance agents, financial advisors, and many other service providers. Even if you're not legally required to carry it, one claim can end your career without coverage.
General liability covers bodily injury and property damage (slip and falls, broken equipment). Professional liability covers financial losses from your advice or services (missed deadlines, errors in work, failed projects). If someone trips in your office, that's general liability. If your accounting error costs a client money, that's professional liability. Most businesses need both.
Coverage needs vary by profession and client contracts. Many professionals carry $1-2 million per claim, though some industries require higher limits. Review your client contracts, consider your largest projects, and think about worst-case scenarios. We'll help you balance adequate protection with affordable premiums based on your specific professional risks.
Standard policies only cover claims made while you're insured. If you retire or let coverage lapse, you're unprotected from claims about past work. That's why many professionals purchase "tail coverage" or extended reporting periods when closing their practice. We'll explain your options before you make any coverage decisions.
Costs vary widely by profession, revenue, claims history, and coverage limits. Consultants and marketing professionals often pay $500-$1,500 annually. Accountants and financial advisors typically pay $1,000-$3,000. Architects and engineers may pay $2,000-$5,000 or more. We'll get you accurate quotes based on your specific profession and risk profile.
