✓Allegations that a design decision or specification error caused a client a financial loss, addressed through professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance
✓General liability for bodily injury or property damage that may occur in a client's home or showroom
✓Defense costs in the event of a covered claim relating to design services
✓Damage to a client's property that may occur while staging or installing, subject to policy terms

Cyber Liability

Hypothetical claim scenarios

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

Hypothetically, a client alleges that incorrectly specified furnishings did not fit the space and had to be replaced at a loss, and professional liability / E&O coverage is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
Hypothetically, a piece of decor falls and damages a client's hardwood floor during installation; general liability coverage may help respond to a property-damage claim of this kind.

Frequently asked questions

What is the core exposure for an interior decorator?

The main risk is an allegation that a design choice or specification caused a client a loss, which professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, is intended to respond to. General liability separately addresses injury and property-damage risks in client spaces. Coverage varies by carrier and state.

Does working in clients' homes increase exposure?

It can. Being on site to measure, stage, and install creates premises risk that general liability is generally intended to respond to in the event of a covered claim.
