Frequently asked questions
What insurance does a professional organizer usually consider?
Work in clients' spaces creates both premises and advisory risk. General liability is generally intended to respond to injury and property-damage claims, while professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, is intended to respond to allegations about decisions and oversight. Coverage varies by carrier and state.
What if I accidentally damage or discard a client's belongings?
Whether a policy is intended to respond depends on the form and its exclusions. Some claims fall under general liability and others under professional liability / E&O; a licensed agent can explain how each is meant to apply.
