Cyber Liability

Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A client alleges a system specified by the consultant doesn't perform as promised and caused a financial loss. Professional liability insurance — also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance — is generally intended to respond to allegations of this nature in the event of a covered claim.
A consultant accidentally damages a client's control panel during a system walkthrough. General liability is generally intended to address allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Is "professional liability" the same as "E&O" for AV consultants?

Yes — the terms are used interchangeably. Both "AV consultant professional liability" and "AV consultant E&O" generally refer to the same coverage: protection against allegations of error, omission, or failure to perform on a system design or specification.

Do I need general liability if I never install?

Most carriers want at least basic general liability even for design-only consultants, because site visits and client meetings create third-party exposure. Most AV consultants carry both general liability and professional liability / E&O.
