What is forensic expert professional liability insurance?

If you’re a forensic expert in any field and are involved in preparing and providing evidence for legal proceedings, you may be accused of negligence, errors, or omissions and could face a claim for resulting financial damages. Commercial general liability insurance does not cover you for financial losses resulting from errors in professional services or advice.

Fortunately, EasyCover offers forensic expert professional liability Insurance (also known as errors and omissions insurance). This unique form of insurance can protect you should you be sued for financial damages resulting from your forensic services or advice.

Typical scenarios for claims can include:

Incorrect information

You prepare forensic evidence but use incorrect information in your report. Relying on this information caused financial loss to the party that engaged you and they bring a claim in negligence.

Third-party error

As a forensic expert, you contract a portion of the investigative work to a third party. The testing was not done properly and therefore this evidence is inadmissible in court. The party who hired you as a forensic expert holds you liable for negligence.
