Consultants, accountants, engineers, designers, IT, and every profession where a regulator mandates it — realtors through RECO, mortgage brokers through FSRA, and others.
It does not cover bodily injury or property damage from your operations. That is the CGL. The CGL’s professional services exclusion is the seam between them.
“Errors and omissions” is the dominant Canadian phrasing. “Professional indemnity” is a UK import that Canadians arriving from other markets still type.
| Canonical name | Professional Liability |
|---|---|
| Abbreviation | E&O |
| How it is bought | Standalone |
| Category | Liability |
| Typical limits | Range only, with the basis stated — Canada publishes no commercial tariff |
Limits are written to the exposure and to what your contracts demand, not to a rule of thumb. Any page quoting a single “standard” limit for a class of business is quoting one broker’s habit.
One request, and someone licensed to place this coverage picks it up.
Be prepared
Hypothetical situations to help you prepare questions—not actual client claims or promises of coverage.
Scenario: Someone alleges an injury arose from the business operations.
What happens next: Preserve incident records and notify the insurer. Declared activities, liability wording and the facts determine whether a policy responds.
Scenario: Equipment used by the business is damaged or stolen.
What happens next: Document ownership, location and cause. Ask the insurer to review the insured property, exclusions, valuation and deductible.
Scenario: Damage prevents the business from operating normally.
What happens next: Keep revenue and expense records. Business interruption depends on the insured trigger, selected coverage and applicable terms.
Actual outcomes depend on the facts and applicable wording. Read claims guidance · Ask about the next step
