In short

Professional liability — also called errors & omissions (E&O) — protects you against claims that your professional work caused a client financial harm: a missed deadline, a mistake in your advice, or alleged negligence in the service you provide. General liability won’t cover that; E&O does. Auto World writes professional liability through multiple commercial carriers with limits up to $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate for a range of professional classes. There’s no online commercial quote — a licensed agent builds yours by phone or text.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between professional liability and general liability?
General liability covers physical third-party harm — a client trips in your office or you damage their property. Professional liability (E&O) covers financial harm from your professional work — a mistake, bad advice, or alleged negligence. Many professionals need both, and clients often require it.
Who needs E&O insurance?
Anyone paid for professional advice or services: counselors and therapists, bookkeepers and tax preparers, software developers and web designers, engineers, dieticians, beauticians, and consultants. If a client could claim your work cost them money, you have E&O exposure.
What limits are available?
Up to $1 million per occurrence / $2 million general aggregate. The right limit often depends on your client contracts — tell us what they require and we’ll match it.
Does my contract require it?
Increasingly, yes — many clients won’t sign without proof of E&O. Send us the contract’s insurance requirements and we’ll build a policy that satisfies them and issue the certificate.
How much does E&O cost?
It depends on your profession, revenue, and the limits you need, so the accurate number comes from a real quote. Call or text (619) 363-4466 and we’ll put one together.
