Cyber Liability

Hypothetical claim scenarios

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

Frequently asked questions

Why would a business consultant need professional liability or E&O insurance?

Because clients act on your advice, and they can allege that a recommendation caused them a loss. Professional liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance are generally intended to respond to that kind of service-related claim. A licensed insurance professional can review your engagements.

Do I need general liability if I visit client sites?

Where you work on-site, general liability is generally intended to respond to third-party bodily injury or property damage that may occur during a visit. It complements your professional liability / E&O coverage. A licensed insurance professional can help you confirm the right combination.
