What is professional liability insurance for engineers?
Whether you’re an engineering consultant hired for a small project or employed by a large firm coordinating a multi-million dollar design-build, engineering projects are complex and constantly under scrutiny. If a client believes you’ve made a mistake or omitted key information, you could be taken to court and face serious damage to your finances, reputation and career as an Engineering Professional.
EasyCover by Acera Insurance offers affordable professional liability insurance for engineers (also known as errors and omissions insurance). You or your firm likely already have commercial general liability insurance (“CGL insurance”). However, CGL insurance policies typically don’t cover financial damages resulting from professional services or advice. With our affordable professional liability insurance for engineers, you’ll be protected should you be taken to court by a client who believes your professional services or advice have caused them financial or reputational damage.

What is included with a professional liability insurance policy for engineering contractors?
Engineers’ professional liability insurance offers vital protection if a client claims you’ve caused financial harm—whether due to actual or alleged mistakes, unmet expectations, or oversight in delivering your services. This coverage typically includes claims such as professional negligence, misrepresentation, libel or slander, inaccurate advice, and the loss or mishandling of important documents.
Your judgement, settlement and defense costs can be covered by your professional liability insurance policy, regardless if the allegations are true or not.
With EasyCover by Acera Insurance, we offer three levels of coverage:
- $1 million
- $2 million
- $3 million
This is the maximum your policy will pay out over the 12-month policy period, regardless of the number of claims. The level of coverage you choose depends on your individual business, industry, clients, value of your projects, and anticipated costs of a lawsuit against you.
