Errors & Omissions FAQ
Is errors & omissions insurance coverage required for my business?
While professional liability insurance (E&O) isn't explicitly required by the state, it is highly recommended and may even be required by insurance carriers that an agency represents. Carrying such a policy can help protect your business against any potential client lawsuits or other financial risks.
What are some ways to manage E&O risks?
OIA strives to provide resources and support for managing risk in professional liability insurance. The following are several best practices to implement in mitigating E&O risks:
- Education and training: Agents and underwriters should invest in ongoing professional development to stay current with industry trends and regulations.
- Documentation best practices: Detailed records of client interactions, underwriting decisions, and policy terms can help mitigate disputes and support claims defense.
- Timing: Contact wholesalers far in advance of the desired effective date to determine what is needed for renewals and if there have been any changes in the coverages or terms.
- Review policy coverage: Be sure to thoroughly review the proposal and policy to ensure the coverage that was requested was provided. If it wasn’t, be sure to find out if it can be obtained.
