Error & Omissions Insurance Market

Errors or omissions insurance (E&O), also known as professional indemnity insurance (PII), is a type of liability insurance that protects individuals and businesses who provide professional advice & services from having to pay the full cost of defending against a client's negligence claim, as well as damages awarded in such a civil lawsuit. The coverage focuses on the policyholder's alleged failure to perform, financial loss caused by, and error or omission in the service or product sold. These are legal causes of action that would be excluded from a more general liability insurance policy that covers more direct forms of harm. Professional liability insurance can take many different forms and names depending on the profession, particularly in the medical and legal fields, and is sometimes required by other businesses who benefit from the advice or service. Therefore, the surge in demand is expected to boost the Error & Omissions Insurance Market growth in the upcoming period.
