Q. Why do I need to carry Errors and Omissions coverage?

A. While most independent agents will never have a claim on their E&O insurance policy, you don’t purchase insurance because you anticipate a claim. The potential loss if a client were to ever file a suit compared to the actual cost of an E&O policy should make the decision very simple. In today’s overly litigious business climate, it would be negligent at best to advise clients on Medicare and Health insurance coverage without some type of professional liability coverage in place. We all work too hard and invest too much into our business to lose it all over a $40 per month premium for E&O coverage.
